MEDICAL COLLEGE STUDENT PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCY SELF-ASSESSMENT
Abstract
Competency-based learning is currently the basis of the European qualifications system; however, in Latvian professional medical education its implementation requires changes in the design of education programmes, in the use of innovative learning methods and forms in order to create a set of competencies that meets the requirements of modern healthcare, individuals and society. The importance of the research is determined by several problems in the medical field and in professional medical education: lack of mid-level practitioners and their outflow abroad, insufficient preparation of students for the new requirements and challenges in healthcare, nonconformity to the requirements of the mobile job market and the standards of the common European education area, etc. The article contains an analysis of the set of competencies of future medical professionals in the context of the new education paradigm in Latvia in comparison with foreign experience, a proposed definition of professional competence of a medical professional, and the analysis of student competency self-assessment. The article has been prepared in the framework of the doctoral thesis “Formation of Medical College Student Professional Competence for Successful Integration in the Job Market” with the support of the Latvian Council for Science.
