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.
