====== Competence ======

Competence is the need to feel effective, capable, and successful in one's interactions with the environment. It involves a desire to master challenges and develop skills. When individuals experience a sense of competence, they are more likely to engage in activities that enhance their abilities and knowledge.

An Entrustable Professional [[Activity]] is a key [[task]] of a [[discipline]] (i.e. [[specialty]] or [[subspecialty]]) that an individual can be [[trust]]ed to perform in a given [[healthcare]] context, once sufficient [[competence]] has been demonstrated.


Professionals strive to become experts in their field, which sets them apart from the rest of the pack. This can mean continuing your [[education]] by taking courses, attending seminars and attaining any related professional designations.
