A Call to Shift to Competency-Based Education

Am J Occup Ther. 2023 Nov 1;77(6):7706347010. doi: 10.5014/ajot.2023.050402.ABSTRACTThis column explores the concept of competency-based education (CBE). A shift to CBE is a key trend for the future of health care education. Health care professions that have adopted, or started to adopt, a CBE framework include physical therapy, speech-language pathology, social work, medicine, nursing, pharmacology, and dentistry. Internationally, many occupational therapy programs are in the process of shifting to, or have shifted to, a CBE model. This column discusses how although select occupational therapy programs in the United States may individually be considering shifting to, or have shifted to, a CBE framework, there is no national movement to explore adopting the model for occupational therapy or a consensus on defined outcomes for the profession.PMID:37938979 | DOI:10.5014/ajot.2023.050402
