CLINICAL COMPETENCE ASSESSMENT RESOURCES
Collaborators The Post-Licensure Assessment System (PLAS) recognizes that standardization of the assessment process; individualized, practice-relevant assessments; integration with educational programs; and a cost-effective delivery model are essential to providing high-quality physician assessments. Collaboration with numerous local programs across the country allows for a comprehensive assessment that can be tailored to the individual physician's practice and enables the physician to obtain assessment at a center that is geographically convenient. Since the majority of collaborators are associated with medical schools and training programs, education and remediation can also be incorporated as part of the assessment process.
The PLAS has collaborative relationships to provide assessment tools to the following programs. Information about obtaining an assessment through these collaborators can be obtained directly from the programs through the contact information provided below.
Information can also be obtained by contacting PLAS at 817-868-4022, Monday - Friday 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. (Central Time), or via e-mail at plas@fsmb.org .
