Analyzing the core competencies in medicine, nursing, and dentistry

Abstract

This study explores the core competencies in medicine, nursing, and dentistry, focusing on both their shared and unique aspects. Shared competencies include ethical practices, effective communication, and a patient-centered approach, which are essential for delivering high-quality healthcare. Distinct competencies reflect the specialized nature of each profession, such as diagnostic acumen in medicine, holistic care in nursing, and oral health expertise in dentistry. The paper emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration to bridge gaps, enhance education, and optimize patient outcomes. By identifying overlaps and differences, the study provides insights into improving healthcare training and fostering a more integrated approach to care delivery.
