Figure 1: (A) A reimagined physician competency model in transformation. Shared humanity and inclusive compassion form its core, cradled by social justice and embraced by its foundational pillars. The “dynamic layer” elevates the sophistication of the model, empowering the integration of crosscutting themes and emerging concepts into a customizable framework that can be tailored to various local and global training and practice contexts. (B) The transformed and action-oriented physician competency model. The “medical expert” role, a cornerstone, is enhanced and expanded to include the latest medical and technological advances, as well as diverse forms of medical knowledge. Each role is transformed from its neutral orientation to its action-oriented stance — drawing inspiration from the model’s core and signalling a commitment to continuous growth and development in all domains across training and practice.
