Completion of the PAR identifies to NCOPE that a residency site is in compliance with the NCOPE Residency Standards and engaged in the quality improvement processes as defined in Standard 1.5. Continuous quality improvement processes including tools such as the PAR are crucial to ensuring that current and future residents evolve into independent, competent clinicians capable of effectively serving O&P patients. To assist residency directors in preparing for the submission of the PAR for 2024, we have established an informational page on our website, which includes a sample of the PAR, a video tutorial showing how to fill out the PAR, plus an FAQ.
