Abstract

A national competence framework has been developed by medical schools in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The framework has seven domains – approach to daily Practice, Dr and patient, Dr and community, communication skills, professionalism, Dr and information technology, Dr and research. The framework will guide curriculum development and assessment in the Kingdom and ensure that medical education adapts to changing needs. The creation of a national framework promises the delivery of equivalent standards between medical schools while at the same time guaranteeing the schools’ autonomy.
