Professional competence inspections
The Professional Inspection Committee (PIC) conducts an inspection focusing on the professional competence of an OIIAQ member if it is called into question. Professional competence inspections are designed to evaluate the quality of LPNs’ professional practice and are conducted as part of a confidential process involving the PIC and the OIIAQ member in question.
Following a professional competence inspection, the PIC may make a recommendation to the OIIAQ’s Executive Committee requiring an OIIAQ member to successfully complete:
- A practicum.
- A professional development course.
- Or both.
The PIC may also make a recommendation to the Executive Committee under which the member in question’s right to carry out some or all of his/her professional activities would be limited or suspended until such time as the member has met the requirements or conditions imposed.
In this regard, LPNs may request a hearing before the PIC.
