Introduction: Competency-based education (CBE) is advocated as an instructional design for health professions education. However, the design and implementation of CBE programmes are often perceived as challenging because the CBE approach combines different educational theories and notions in contemporary higher education. The workshop will provide an opportunity for participants to familiarise themselves with CBE related assessments and consider how they can design a microcredential educational programme using the CBE approach.
Methods: The workshop will apply a small group discussion and co-creation workshop style. Each group will consist of 5-6 participants. A set of programme designing tools will be provided to each group and participants will discuss and co-create a microcredential educational programme using the CBE approach. Group discussions will be facilitated by a member of the presenting team. The developed programme will be reported back to all workshop attendees, where further considerations for actual implementation will be discussed.
Results: Each group of participants will co-create and develop a microcredential CBE programme related to a selected scope of practice. Feedback and issues related to actual implementation of the developed programme will be provided by all workshop attendees for further learning.
Conclusion: The workshop will provide deeper understanding of different aspects of CBE approach and assessments. Activities will support the process of actual designing and implementing CBE programmes in participant’s local settings.
