This interactive course is designed to provide a framework for designing competency assessment tool for the endoscopy unit. It will help the participant to view competency assessment as not only essential but as something that is really not difficult to achieve. Each participant is encouraged to bring one competency tool from their setting to be analyzed by the group.

Section Description

We are pleased to present the abstracts from SGNA's 34th Annual Course, Charting a Course for Professional Growth. The diversity of these topics certainly reflects the richness and breadth of our specialty. In keeping with the tradition of the Annual Course, we hope the following abstracts will encourage discussions for improving nursing practice and patient care outcomes.
