Abstract

There is a paucity of information concerning normative reference ranges on standardized measures of profession-wide competencies for the purpose of conducting formative assessments. The present study draws from a convenience sample to provide developmental (first/second half of training year) normative data for use in formative assessments of individual trainees and program-level quality improvement processes. Data reveal the anticipated pattern of competency scores generally improving across any given training year, with the strongest gains in competencies tied to assessment, supervision, and advocacy. A secondary aim, which emerged after study launch, was to evaluate whether training disruptions due an infectious viral pandemic (COVID-19) exerted demonstrable impacts at the aggregate level on trainee competency development. This sample of doctoral trainees evidenced no pandemic-associated suppression of Competency attainment. Rather, this sample of trainees evidenced growth in focal competencies tied to policy creation, systems-change, management structure, and leadership. Training implications are discussed.

全专业能力：对博士生的形成性评估。

为了进行形成性评价，关于全专业能力的标准化措施的规范性参考范围的资料很缺乏。本研究从一个方便的样本中提取了发展(培训年的前/下半年)规范数据，用于对个别受训人员的形成性评估和方案级质量改进过程。数据显示，在任何给定的培训年度，能力得分的预期模式都在普遍提高，其中与评估、监督和倡导相关的能力收益最大。研究启动后出现的第二个目标是评估传染性病毒大流行(COVID-19)导致的培训中断是否在总体上对受训者的能力发展产生了明显的影响。该博士学员样本没有证明与大流行相关的能力获得抑制。相反，这些受训者的样本证明了与政策制定、制度变革、管理结构和领导力相关的核心能力的增长。讨论了培训所涉问题。
