What he has done [filled it out based on the former (both academic and clinical positions)] is the best approach. When one will be initially going onto the candidate register, the NSRP appreciates having it filled out this way as it provides a full picture of one’s employment.
He is right. Part c of the practice profile does allow for duplication. The reason we have also included those items in part c is for applicants who do not wish to include academic, research, administration as practice areas in part b when they form a very minor part of their work. And in this case, they only identify these items in part c (clinical in part b – then clinical with administration in part c). Although it is redundant, it makes sense to check off formal research under formal research, unless for example we had an individual who was also doing formal research as part of their clinical practice (probably not the best example but that is the general idea)
Will can see pages 7 & 8 of the Online Application Guide which explains how he can save a copy of the form he has completed as part of the online application. There is also a link provided in the guide where he can download a standalone copy of the practice profile if he wishes to do so.
