Competency assessment

Mapping the evidence on public health competency assessment strategies in undergraduate medical education: a scoping review



Background
The increasing complexity of health systems and the growing importance of social determinants of health require physicians trained with a population-based perspective. However, assessment of public health competencies in undergraduate medical education remains heterogeneous, with limited conceptual integration and lack of standardised approaches.

Objective
To map and characterise the scientific evidence on strategies used to assess public health competencies in undergraduate medical students.
