About the International Congress CLEARs Congress on Professional and Occupational Regulation will bring together the international community of regulators and those affected by their work. Focusing on three broad themes, this dynamic and interactive forum will provide attendees information about latest innovations and developments, an opportunity to share challenges and solutions, and offer valuable networking opportunities with international colleagues from both health and non-health sectors. Congress Themes Workforce Planning and Entry to Practice will focus on the role economic pressures and workforce shortages are playing in the regulation of professions and occupations. Barriers to labor mobility will be considered, as will the challenges in ensuring both technical and cultural competence. The European Tuning Project will be considered as a model for developing common standards across multiple jurisdictions, while attendees will also hear directly from professions who are modeling mobility, as well as those moving in this direction. The Regulatory Continuum and the Role of the Regulator will ask: who regulates, how is this task carried out, and whether there is an optimal model? The role of the profession/occupation will be considered, as will the part government and other critical stakeholders play. The latest trends in roles, structures, and levels of oversight will be reviewed and discussed and will include an update of legislative changes in Canada, Europe, and the United States. Ensuring Continuing Competence will review the role of the regulator in ensuring competence. The variety of approaches taken by jurisdictions and professions will be discussed, with information provided about processes, rationale, and the latest trends.
