MSHA COMPETENCY SELF ASSESSMENT The MSHA program is dedicated to ensuring your progress in our program. To be able to measure this progress, we will be asking you to regularly do self-assessments on the competencies of our program. This will allow us (and you) to monitor how you are growing through the curriculum in our program. Your input is critical to see if you are meeting the goals of this program and to help us improve the program in the future. Your responses will be discussed during your next advisement appointment, so please be honest in your feedback. Note: Please remember that this is your honest evaluation of yourself. Saying you have an advanced level of understanding in any competencies indicates an expertise that current executives may not feel they have. Be honest in your feedback — this is to help you.
