Summary and Conclusion
The practice analysis for the American Board for Certification in Orthotics, Prosthetics and Pedorthics (ABC) was conducted to:
- Identify tasks and knowledge important to the work performed by Certified Mastectomy Fitter (CFm) professionals; and,
- Create a content outline that may be used to develop the Certified Mastectomy Fitter (CFm) exam
The task and knowledge statements were developed through an iterative process involving the combined efforts of ABC, its volunteers and Prometric staff. The tasks and knowledge statements were verified as important through the review of experts and provide the foundation for development for the ABC Certified Mastectomy Fitter credential. In summary, the practice analysis utilized a multi-method approach to identify the tasks and knowledge important to the work performed by Mastectomy Fitter professionals.
