Table 1. Competencies taxonomy.
| Competency | Description |
|---|---|
| Medical knowledge | Learning engagement: Understand established and evolved breast disease basic and clinical science: benign and malignant breast disease and high-risk lesion. |
| Interpret information: Organise, analyse and interpret evidence. Question implementation strategies and their adoption. | |
| Critical thinking: Think innovatively when interpreting evidence, problem-solving and decision-making. Reframe constraints, challenge barriers and create innovative alternatives. | |
| Performance | Apply knowledge and skills in surgical management, multidisciplinary care, community outreach and screening to support safety and quality, following good clinical practice codes and institutional protocols. Copy with constraints. |
| System-based learning | Design patient care: Create integrated care provided by a multidisciplinary team to replace disparities. |
| Outline functional referral system locally adapted. | |
| Plan care, making it more accessible for the patient to navigate, thereby improving its experience. | |
| Quality improvement: Measure outcomes accurately. Develop a data science strategy to achieve precision medicine (by tailoring treatments) and create a learning health system (by predicting outcomes and identifying areas for improvement). | |
| Problem-based learning | Define constraints: the local and global context. Delimit ethics, culture and literacy issues. |
| Understand the context: Recognise the responsiveness of the health care system. Know existing system resources for patient care. | |
| Identify and solve real-world problems within defined constraints. | |
| Gather information: Use internal data to inform decisions and drive innovation. | |
| Interpersonal and communication | Communicate effectively with patients and their caregivers – across disciplines, within listening, oral, written means. |
| Teamwork: Create a vision, build consensus and offer active collaboration to inter- and trans-disciplinary approaches to achieve patient-centred care. | |
| Professionalism | Coordinate efforts to jointly take professional and ethical responsibility for clinical management and behaviour. Envision and account for resource-constraints. |
| Entrepreneurial attitude: Seek a ‘real-world’ understanding of context and constraints to improve patients outcomes. | |
| Lead patient care and providing management direction, demonstrating high standards of clinical practice and care. | |
| Promotion of identity: Adoption of commitments that support the trust of the public. | |
| Values | Adherence to ethical and cultural principles. Commitment to professional behaviour, identity and responsibilities. |
| Join in public reasoning as an informed citizen to promote enlightened transformation in the population. | |
| Respect for the dignity of those they serve. | |
| Patient care | Patient-centred care: Focus on patient inputs, those that matter to them. Patients are welcome to co-create their care to the extent that they wish. |
| Make sound decisions informed by context with and by patients about designing solutions and problem-solving. | |
| Social accountability. | |
| Use of information and communication technologies to enhance the learning experience for trainees. | |
| Practice-based learning | Evidence-based practice: Appraisal of scientific evidence for improving patients care. |
| Understand staff constraints and operating settings. | |
| Data analytics: Analyse statistical evidence. Get more knowledgeable and confident medical choices. | |
| Design solutions: Care pathway design to improve outcomes, taking into consideration patient inputs. Support for shared decision-making. | |
| Expand skills to look beyond healthcare systems to health in the community. |
