  • To organize the knowledge, attitudes, and skills of GPs into distinct domains.
  • To provide a tool for curriculum examination and program evaluation in general practice.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a six-domain model representing GP competencies.
  • Diagrammatic representation using a five-pointed star (Figure 1).
  • Descriptive categorization of knowledge, attitudes, and skills within these domains (Table 2).
