10 Reasons for Students to Write the CASLPA Clinical Certification
Exam...
- Clinical certification is the highest professional
standard as set by the national association of my peers.
- Clinical Certification is well known as the
highest standard of quality in most professions and services
indicating, “a person has attained a standard of proficiency
in a set of skills, knowledge and abilities”. CICIC,
2001
- If consumers, clients and employers have a
choice between a clinically certified professional and a non-certified,
most would prefer a certified person.
- Clinical Certification is an assurance to
clients and employers that I am committed to ongoing education
to keep my skills and knowledge current.
- Many international employers and associations
recognize CASLPA clinical certification as evidence that the
professional meets the requirement for recognition in another
country.
- The clinical certification exam is an opportunity
for me to demonstrate and compare my academic knowledge and
applied clinical problem solving skills with graduates of
other Canadian and international programs.
- I get a discount if I write the exam in the
year I graduate (I do not have to pay the full membership/joint
membership fees, only the student fee)
- Clinical certification gives me the confidence
as a new clinician that I have the necessary background and
core knowledge to work as an audiologist or speech-language
pathologist.
- Past statistics indicate that new grads perform
better than previous grads, so I should not put it off!
- Clinical certification sets me above the average.
I want to be the best I can be.
