Competency Exploration
Competency development is essential to pre-health professions students' development and application planning. When planning to submit a well-developed application, pre-health profession students will need to focus on creating opportunities for personal growth. These opportunities are more than just the technical activities an applicant may enter on their primary application. Instead, they represent your awareness and understanding of the skills, behaviors, and abilities gained by participating in these activities/experiences. Demonstrating your awareness of skills, behaviors, and abilities learned is called 'competency development.'
The tiles below represent opportunities to explore and find specific activities to help your competency growth.
Use these activities to build your Health Professions CV. What is a CV and why should it be different than my Resume? A CV is a more comprehensive, detailed document that outlines your entire academic, clinical, research, extra-curricular, and professional history. It typically serves as a guide to be used for professional school applications to show your full preparation for a health career.
A purposefully organized CV can effectively leverage your activities to weave a narrative that demonstrates how each experience has prepared and motivated you for professional school admission. The following template can be used to get you started.
