To explore international consensus for the validation of clinical competencies for advanced training in Oral Medicine.
Unfortunately, there is much confusion about the concepts of competence, competency, and competency-based education.
Future work should consider wider validation of these PHCP competencies through consultation with a larger group of practising pharmacists and the consideration of perspectives of stakeholders such as patients, other health care professionals working in primary health care teams and provincial governments.
Checking competency (or validation) of local facilitators by means of knowledge and skills testing was done after teaching learners.
Another study described a successful multi-institutional validation of a web-based core competency assessment system in surgery (Tabuenca et al. 2007).
Many articles are available which describe validation of tools to assess cultural competency of health care practitioners, yet have not been studied for their use in the clinical context.
Secondly, for the external validation, it exposes that the students learning with model have high levels of competency and achievements.
An argument-based approach to validation followed by evaluation, an approach long championed by Michael Kane [ 7– 9], provides a framework for the evaluation of claims of competency based on assessment scores obtained from many different forms of assessment [ 10].
And then there is the issue of competency itself.
The result: huge gaps of competency and credibility.
Others have explored the notion of competency.
