Natasha Parfyonova joins FGM!

It is with great pleasure that we are announcing that Dr. Natasha Parfyonova has joined the For Good Measure team as a Senior Psychometrician. Dr. Parfyonova is well-known to the Canadian regulatory sector as a psychometric professional for at least the last 15 years from Yardstick / Meazure learning. Natasha brings top notch psychometric skill, with particular specialization in Competency Profile development, but also project management and coaching expertise. Her presence will not only elevate the level of service FGM can provide to its clients, but her skills are truly complementary to those of the existing team.

Some of her experience includes development or revalidation of competency frameworks and job task lists for over 30 professions, including financial planners, engineering technologists, pediatric dentists, pharmacists and pharmacy technicians in Canada. She estimates she has conducted over 200 workshops over her career, from focus group meetings to item development training, standard setting to blueprinting. More recently, she has improved exam maintenance processes for five NCCA-accredited certification programs for allied health professions. She also contributed to the revalidation of exam content outlines for three NCCA-accredited credentialing programs for acupuncture and herbal medicine practitioners in the U.S.

Perhaps most importantly, FGM is a better place to work, and work with, now that Natasha is on the team. As many of our clients are particularly aware, a great professional is a combination of technical and non-technical skill; someone whom you trust with the most important work, but also someone who is a great communicator and collaborator. Natasha brings all this to FGM and we couldn’t be happier to welcome her on board!
