One of the mandates of the College is to develop, establish and maintain a continuing competency program to maintain the competence of the members and enhance the practice of the profession. The Regulated Health Professions Act (the “Act”) identifies what the continuing competency program is to provide, and the College of Registered Psychiatric Nurses of Manitoba General Regulation (the “General Regulation”) sets out the College’s specific requirements.

Pursuant to ss 2.17 of the General Regulation the CRPNM’s Continuing Competency Program (CCP) consists of:

1) The completion of a jurisprudence learning module that includes an evaluation component.

2) The undertaking of a self-assessment process.

3) The preparation and implementation of a self-development plan (the “learning plan”).

The regulation also requires that a member keep records (the “professional portfolio”) for the current year and each of the immediately preceding practice years.
