Competency-based medical education (CBME) frames training as progressive acquisition of observable and assessable outcomes.¶

Description¶
CBME emphasizes the acquisition of clearly defined, observable competencies aligned with clinical practice needs. The article is conceptually grounded in CBME alongside the biopsychosocial model, which provides the theoretical foundation for holistic care. From this perspective, PMSC is shaped not only by curricular content but also by teaching strategies, faculty capacity, and institutional support. The article uses CBME to evaluate alignment of PMSC training in China's GP SRTP.
Design Implications¶
Context¶
Requirements¶
- Explicit competency definitions and competency-oriented assessment
Constraints¶
- The article notes current training tends to emphasize general professional attributes rather than clearly defined, observable psychosomatic competencies
Target Learners¶
- General practice residents
Learning Goals¶
- Observable and assessable psychosomatic competencies
