Monkey see, monkey do: a critique of the competency model in graduate medical education
1Institute of Education, University of London, UK. martin.talbot@sth.nhs.uk
Background:
Graduate medical education in the UK is in danger of being subsumed in a minimalist discourse of competency.
Argument:
While accepting that competence in a doctor is a sine qua non, the author criticises the construction of a graduate and specialist medical education based solely upon a competency model. Many competency models follow the concepts of either academic competence or operational competence, both of which have lately been subject to criticism.
Conclusion:
The author discusses the need for replacing such criterion-referenced models in favour of a model that engages the higher order competence, performance and understanding which represent professional practice at its best.
