Abstract
MANTILLA C. MSC, MA, Gilma C.; ARIZA MSC, Katerine; SANTAMARIA MED, Andrea and MORENO MSC, Socorro. Competency-Based Medical Education: Scoping Review. Univ. Med. [online]. 2021, vol.62, n.2, e32073. Epub Apr 15, 2021. ISSN 0041-9095. https://doi.org/10.11144/javeriana.umed62-2.emed.
Introduction:
The competency-based education model is increasingly common for undergraduate medicine training. However, there is a lack of consensus on the concept of competence that can limit the understanding and analysis of the curricular programs that use it.
Objective:
To analyze the definitions and applications of the terms competency-based curriculum (CBC) and competency-based assessment (EvBC) in the medical education literature to propose a conceptual framework in undergraduate medicine programs.
Method:
Scoping review with searches in six databases. Publications about competency assessment or CBC in the medical area, specifically in undergraduate programs, during the last three decades.
Results:
Of 3618 articles, 89 were preselected for full review. 34 articles were included. The qualitative analysis generated 4 main categories and 14 subordinate categories.
Conclusions:
Although there is no consensus that defines competence, CBC and EvBC, the decision to implement a CBC in an undergraduate medical program implies recognition of the social and regulatory context and a progressive development that responds to particular needs, which may be related to all levels of learning.
