As P3’s we are required to take the third year competency
exam before we can move on to our P4 year and rotations. This is a way that we
can show the knowledge and skills that we have accumulated over the past three
years, and the professors can assess our competence for moving forward as
practitioners. The TYCE is a three hour exam consisting of multiple hands-on
sections, such as counseling and performing calculations. It is administered
twice in one day, with a morning session and an afternoon session, and students
are assigned a time to be there (either 9 am or 1 pm). This year, the TYCE will
take place on Tuesday, April 7th.
I will be honest with you and say that I am a little nervous as we are
about to go into the exam, but I hope that the things that I have learned over
the past three years will “kick in” as I perform each section. As
nerve-wracking as it is, I am glad that we are tested before moving on to
rotations, as we will need to be able to perform these skills on a day-to-day
basis. Wish us luck!
