Clinical Competency Assessment Portfolio Review

The Clinical Competency Assessment (CCA) Portfolio Review assesses your three latest end-of-rotation In-Training Assessments (ITAs).

CCA Portfolio Review Criteria

Your overall performance in the ITAs is assessed against Fellowship competencies.

Overview of Portfolio Review Assessment Criteria

ITA selection

The following rules regarding end-of-rotation ITAs apply:

• The three most recent end-of-rotation In-Training Assessments (ITAs) will be considered.
• A SIMG Portfolio Review will involve the three most recent ITAs, however, where three ITAs are not available, two most recent end-of-rotation ITAs may be considered for review.
• For trainees, this must include at least one Stage 3 rotation of 6 months FTE duration and have at least one Stage 3 end of rotation ITA (6 months FTE) recorded at the College.
• Candidates applying for further rounds of CCA (for example, following an unsuccessful attempt at the CCA or Alternative Assessment Pathway (AAP) require a new end-of-rotation ITA to be eligible to enrol into the new CCA cycle. This ITA would need to be a Stage 3 ITA of a minimum of six (6) months duration.
• The Portfolio Review will not consider any retrospective applications to alter supervisor feedback contained in the ITA form.

Timing of CCA Portfolio Review

The Portfolio Review process takes approximately six weeks depending on enrolment numbers.

Complete and submit your ITAs as soon as possible to ensure that your training record is up to date and avoid any delays. ITAs that have not been received cannot be considered as part of the process.

Outcomes

Candidates who are unable to achieve a successful Portfolio Review will proceed to the Case-based Discussion assessment.
