This study is the result of experience in applying the model of competency-based education in a student with Moebius syndrome, which consists of congenital paralysis leading to a lack of control of facial expressions and lateral eye movements.
The fact that the experts were all from high-income countries should be considered when applying the quality criteria and competencies in care for women from other cultural backgrounds [ 39, 40].
Most recently, Vision and Change put forth the standard that undergraduates in biology develop competencies, including applying the process of science, using quantitative reasoning, and using modeling and simulation (AAAS, 2011).
Graduates stated that the MPH program enabled them substantially to apply the following core competencies: public health science skills including analytical assessment competencies (48%), leadership and systems thinking competencies (44%), context sensitive competencies (43%), and planning and management competencies (42%).
About a third of the graduates stated that the MPH program enabled them substantially to apply the three following core competencies: communication competencies (37%), community and inter-sectoral competencies (36%), and policy development competencies (33%).
Graduates were asked to grade attribution to the MPH program per detailed competency (23 in total), scaled as follows: they did not use it/it was not part of their work; the MPH program did not enable the graduate; the MPH program enabled the graduate a little to apply; or enabled the graduate substantially to apply this competency in their work.
WU (The Canadian National Research Council Entrepreneurship), on the other hand, proposed a competency model and applied the rough set theory and the best attribute-value to investigate whether there are diverse competencies between small firm entrepreneurs and large firm managers.
The data shows that competency number five (plan and manage health programs) is the most frequently performed by the alumni among the 10 public health management competencies (47.9% of them applied this competency very frequently), followed by monitor health problems and epidemics in the community (37%), and develop indicators and instruments to monitor community health (35.2%).
Accordingly PHLP includes 1) laws/legal authorities; 2) competencies of those who apply the law; 3) information relevant for the application of the law; and 4) coordination across sectors/jurisdictions.
JAV: Can you give an example of a problem Edison encountered where he applied this competency?
