A new competency assessment system for resident physicians undergoing standardized training was developed. This objective system quantifies physician competence, enhancing healthcare safety and training quality.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Healthcare Quality Improvement
- Physician Competency Assessment
Background:
- Standardized training is crucial for postgraduate medical education, impacting healthcare safety and stability.
- Healthcare institutions are increasingly focused on the quality of resident physician training.
- Effective evaluation of resident competence is essential for maintaining high standards in medical practice.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a concrete, objective, and quantifiable competency assessment index system for resident physicians undergoing standardized training.
- To establish a framework for the quantitative evaluation of clinical resident physicians' competencies.
- To improve the quality and consistency of postgraduate medical education.
Main Methods:
- A comprehensive literature review and Delphi consultation with 40 experts in medicine and public health were conducted.
- Indicator weights were determined using the analytic hierarchy process after expert consultation.
- The study involved 40 experts, achieving a 100% response rate and a high expert authority coefficient (0.879).
Main Results:
- A job competence evaluation system with 6 primary, 18 secondary, and 116 tertiary indicators was established.
- Key primary indicators include professional quality (0.313), skills and knowledge (0.248), and patient care (0.181).
- Top secondary indicators were clinical skills (0.122), professional ethics (0.120), and professional dedication (0.109), highlighting critical areas of competence.
Conclusions:
