From competency mapping to curriculum development: Identifying gaps in an undergraduate general practice clerkship – a mixed-methods study

Objectives

This study aims to show the process of developing a competency-based medical education (CBME) General Practice (GP) block clerkship at the University of Heidelberg, aligned with frameworks such as CanMEDS, Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs), and the National Competency-based Learning Objectives Catalogue (NKLM 2.0). Objectives are to identify competencies addressed in the current two-week clerkship, determine additional content needed to cover all required competencies, and assess student perspectives.
