Competency Framework

""

This working group will develop requirements for representing health professions competencies and collaborating with the IEEE LTSC (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Learning Technology Standards Committee) Competency working group to ensure requirements are incorporated into IEEE competency-related standards. The working group may supplement these activities by specifying requirements for web services to enable the exchange of competency data. Whenever possible, the group will leverage useful specifications developed by other organizations. The MedBiquitous® Technical Advisory Group will offer guidance and technical support for approaches to specific data exchange technologies.   

The specifications and services created by this working group will likely serve as foundational pieces for other specifications and web services designed by the MedBiquitous Program and will be designed to allow for building a digital ecosystem that can support health professions education and credentialing.
