Structure of <strong>Professional</strong> Practice <strong>Standards</strong> 2013<br />
The 2013 review of the standards has modified and expanded on the existing format.<br />
The updated competency standard format now comprises five levels:<br />
• Domain<br />
• Standard<br />
• Element<br />
• Indicator<br />
• Cues<br />
Domain<br />
The 2013 standards have been grouped together into domains of professional<br />
responsibility. The six domains are:<br />
1. <strong>Professional</strong> and Ethical Practice<br />
2. Communication, Teamwork and Autonomy<br />
3. Knowledge and Understanding<br />
4. Critical Thinking and Evaluation<br />
5. Service Delivery and Clinical Management<br />
6. Lifelong Learning<br />
It is relevant to note that the order in which the domains are presented does not<br />
indicate an order of importance.<br />
<strong>Standards</strong><br />
The standards in each domain reflect the level of proficiency and professionalism<br />
expected of the graduate practitioner upon attainment of the AIR Validated Statement<br />
of Accreditation. Each competency standard describes the particular professional<br />
activity to be assessed or demonstrated. The standards are the explicit requirements of<br />
the Radiation Therapist or Radiographer as they move into the clinical environment.<br />
