competency areas required for WBA
What is the
evidence
How often do
I have to submit the evidence and how many do I have to do
|
Each tool,
be it COT, CBD or mini-CEX, is a device for gathering evidence.
This
evidence is collected by the trainee in their portfolio, and at the 4
month reviews conducted by the educational supervisor, is used to inform
decision made about the trainee’s progress.
It is
important then to note that there is no pass/fail standard to any of
these workplace-based assessments. The tools simply serve to harvest
information and provide the supervisor with material for feedback,
identification of learning needs and possible recommendations for change
for the trainee.
Each tool (form) once
completed will be filed in the e-Portfolio. It will be automatically tagged
under the appropriate competency area headings so that the results and free text
comments are brought up during the interim and final reviews.
Across the
12 professional competence areas in workplace-based assessment,
progression towards expertise is described in terms of insufficient
evidence, needs further development, competent and excellent. The
competent level reflects the standard for independent practice. By the
end of the training period, a level of competent is expected across all
of the areas and it is entirely likely that some trainees in ST1 and ST2
will have developmental needs within some areas and conversely, may
achieve excellence in others.
A minimum
amount of evidence to be collected prior to each review has been
advised, but it is perfectly acceptable, and indeed expected, for more
assessments to be performed, or evidence recorded, in order to build up
a richer picture of the trainee. |
