The Canadian Alliance of Audiology and Speech – Language Pathology Regulators (CAASPR) is working to develop a national competency – based entry – to – practice assessment process to harmonize the registration requirements across regulated jurisdictions in Canada. This will be accomplished through a series of initiatives within the Centralization and Capacity – Building Project for Audiologists and Speech-Language Pathologists.
The Centralization and Capacity – Building Project includes:
- Review of professional competency profiles and performance indicators for both professions
- Developing a competency-based national entry-to-practice examination
- Creating an Online Portal for applicants
- Developing a pre-arrival resource for internationally educated applicants
- Establishing language proficiency tests and benchmarks nationally
- Developing a mentorship model
Status updates on the Centralization and Capacity – Building Project are published quarterly, and are available at:
