Abstract:
Every profession is organized around a body of knowledge, expertise, practical applications and rules which impose a particular kind of education and training for members of that profession. The professional competency, defined as the degree to which one uses knowledge, skills and judgment in situations that arise in the course of professional practice, is a construct not directly observable. Hence, we have to draw inferences from observable and measurable elements. But how? This article explains why must professional competency be evaluated and how to evaluate. Authors describe the Centre for Evaluation in the Health Sciences expertise, which has been using for 10 years the Objective Clinical Structured Examination (OSCE) for the certification of family medicine candidates. The validityand the reliability of this toolhave been widely demonstrated.
