Here are the seven core competencies included in the white paper:
- Medical knowledge
- Patient care
- Practice-based learning and improvement
- Systems-based practice
- Professionalism
- Interpersonal and communication skills
- Use of informatics
In the white paper, the AHA Leadership Forum says hospitals need to “reflect on and understand how they can increase the valuation of the competencies throughout their organizations and specifically the role they can play in helping to ingrain the competencies into training programs within their facilities.”
