1 The Clinical Activities column indicates the number of clinical activities assigned to each content domain and the percentage of the exam each domain would represent if based solely on activity count, without adjustments for frequency of occurrence (FI) or risk of patient harm (IoH). The Foundations of Practice domain is excluded from this calculation.

2 Foundations of Practice domain was fixed at 5% by policy, as it does not involve observable clinical activities. The empirically derived percentages from survey data, reflecting observable clinical activities, were proportionally adjusted to collectively occupy the remaining 95% of the examination.

3 Percentages in this column may not sum exactly to 100% due to rounding; however, they total precisely 100% when calculated to three decimal places.
