Required levels of competence in clinical skills at different stages of the undergraduate medical curriculum

The aims of the study were to compile a list of clinical skills required at the exit level of the undergraduate medical curriculum and to determine the levels of competence expected of students at different stages of training. Chairpersons of the academic blocks edited relevant parts of an existing skills list. The level of competence for each skill was rated from 1 to 4 (adapted Nijmegen Scale). A pilot study was done to determine the perceptions of general practitioners (senior and junior) and final year medical students on the required level of competence at exit level for each of the listed skills.
