For each of the four clinical areas, the OPT Curriculum Summary table sets out around 130 learning outcomes across 13 domains.
Each competency is assessed at one of three levels:
- Level 1 – carries out clinical work to support medical decision-making
- Level 2 – works to protocol with clearly defined delegated decision-making
- Level 3 – makes decisions independently, with appropriate support and back-up
Learners with higher qualifications may be eligible for Recognition of Prior Competence. This means they may not need to complete some assessments.
