Summary:

It presents a brief history of the concept of medical competence as well as an overview of how competence is defined and incorporated into certification and accreditation by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. Presenting a detailed account of how the ABPN defines the six core competency categories for psychiatrists (Patient Care, Medical Knowledge, Interpersonal and Communications Skills, Practice-Based Learning and Improvement, Professionalism, and Systems-Based Practice), it also includes some informed predictions about the future role of core competencies in psychiatric practice.
