Methods used to evaluate my APN practice.

Well, via my collaborative agreement, my physicians can review my charts, ask me questions regarding my actions, that type of oversight.

Is that what you are asking?

I attend about 1-2 conferences per year and complete online CMEs - mostly through Medscape, though there are a ton of free CME/CEU websites out there.

I don't know that there's much of a mechanism for evaluating a clinician's practice in an ongoing way via continuing education courses...most of them don't even include an evaluation method at the end, and those that do are pretty limited. I suppose I end up relying mostly on peer/patient feedback and patient outcomes as ongoing evidence of personal areas of competency vs need for further work.
