An Evidence Forms (EF) is the form that you will complete with information about a patient case, program, publication or research project that allows you to demonstrate that you meet a Practice Domain Standard and associated SPOs.
There are four different types of EFs. A Portfolio Application is comprised of 2 Case Presentation EFs and 1 Supplemental EF (Program Development, Publication or Research), chosen by the applicant.
Case Presentation EF
Describe a patient case that demonstrates how you have achieved the chosen Practice Domain Standard and associated SPOs through the evaluation, treatment planning, implementation and follow-up care of the patient with burn injury. Analyze the clinical problem and evaluate your clinical decisions related to patient examination, intervention and education. If you provided care during only one phase of recovery, be sure to incorporate your understanding of the impact of that care during other phases of care in order to show a comprehensive understanding of the SPOs.
Program Development EF
Use this form to demonstrate how you have achieved the chosen Practice Domain Standard and associated Specialty Practice Objectives (SPO) through the planning, implementation and evaluation of a burn rehabilitation related program. A program may include any organized action directed at solving a problem (e.g. quality improvement), improving or validating a current program/system (e.g. development of policies or procedures), intending to educate or advocate (e.g. development of a course or program development). You must have played a major role in program development.
Publication EF
Use this form to demonstrate how you have achieved the chosen Practice Domain Standard and associated Specialty Practice Objectives (SPO) through work that resulted in a publication related to burn rehabilitation. To select use of this form, you must have had a significant role or provided major contributions to critical aspects of the publication such as design of study, data analysis/interpretation, and publication development. Examples of acceptable publications include submission to a peer-reviewed journal, letters to the editor, textbook chapters. Examples of unacceptable publications include newsletters or professional periodicals. Multiple publications may be used to complete this form (up to 3) but they must all be related to the same practice domain.
Research EF
Use this form to demonstrate how you have achieved the chosen Practice Domain Standard and associated Specialty Practice Objectives (SPO) through the planning, implementation or evaluation of research related to burn rehabilitation. To select use of this form, you must have had a significant role or provided major contributions to critical aspects of the research project such as design, development, conduct, data analysis/interpretation, or publication/ presentation of information. Research may include any organized action directed at providing evidence that either informs, validates or solves a clinical question or has the potential to lead to improvement of clinical care.
