426. After reviewing the matrix of additional requirements, I may need to complete a clinical competency assessment. Can I do the assessment before I apply or while I’m in the Pre-Licensure phase of the licensure process?

Yes. The Board will accept clinical competency assessment reports dated within one year of the application date for initial provisional licensure. However, the applicant assumes all risks when completing an assessment before being officially informed of its requirement by their licensure analyst during the licensure process.
