Professional Competencies

Professional Competencies in Assessment for Learning

Professional Competencies must be continuously developed through structured assessment for learning.
In general medicine, assessments should not only test knowledge but also enhance safe and ethical practice.
Patient care can be evaluated through case-based discussions, focusing on clinical reasoning and safety.
Ethics and professionalism are strengthened when learners receive feedback on integrity and accountability.
Communication skills improve through OSCE stations and reflective feedback on patient interactions.
Collaboration and teamwork can be assessed in simulated or real clinical settings with peer evaluation.
Health system awareness grows when learners reflect on quality, safety, and resource management in assessments.
Lifelong learning is promoted by self-assessment tools and guided reflection after clinical tasks.
Regular feedback transforms assessment into a tool for growth, not just judgment.
Through this approach, Professional Competencies become living skills, nurtured and refined throughout training.
