What are competencies?

Competencies are statements of the characteristics that graduating students should demonstrate which indicate they are prepared to perform and function independently in professional practice. Competencies should include more than just facts. They represent the integration and application of learned facts, skills and affective qualities needed to serve the patient, community and profession. Competencies developed for a program are not taught as a whole, i.e. in a single course, but rather their components are presented throughout the curriculum. Several courses usually assist in the attainment of each competency. The early phase of the curriculum consists primarily of mastering foundation facts and basic skills, but by program completion the parts culminate in the higher level application of these concepts in real-practice situations.
