What is competence assessment and how is it different from performance assessment?
Competence assessment is a measure of what a practitioner is capable of doing (the best he/she can do under controlled circumstances) whereas performance assessment is a measure of what he or she actually does in daily practice. Competence assessment does not necessarily predict performance. Performance assessment is thus more authentic as it assesses what a doctor actually does on the job with all the inherent stresses and distractions.
