    This study introduces a competency-based training model for medical students on mental retardation, enhancing physicians' ability to manage chronic disabilities. The model proved effective in improving knowledge and attitudes toward developmental disabilities.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Developmental Disabilities
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Physicians require specialized training to address the complexities of chronic disabilities, including intellectual and developmental disabilities.
    • Existing medical curricula may not adequately prepare physicians for the multifaceted role in managing long-term conditions.
    • Enhancing physician competency in developmental disabilities is crucial for patient advocacy and resource provision.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a competency-based training model for medical students focusing on intellectual and developmental disabilities.
    • To outline specific competencies, training methods, and evaluation procedures for a medical clerkship.
    • To assess the impact of this training on students' knowledge and attitudes.

    Main Methods:

    • A competency-based curriculum was developed for a medical student clerkship.
    • Training emphasized practical skills and a positive orientation towards developmental problems.
    • Evaluative measures were applied to 12 students completing the clerkship.

    Main Results:

    • Students demonstrated positive changes in knowledge regarding developmental disabilities.
    • Attitudinal shifts towards developmental problems were observed post-training.
    • The competency-based model facilitated skill development and a better understanding of chronic conditions.

    Conclusions:

    • Competency-based training is an effective model for educating medical students on intellectual and developmental disabilities.
    • This approach prepares physicians to better serve as advocates and resources for individuals with chronic conditions.
    • The model fosters essential practical skills and a positive professional orientation.
