TO THE EDITOR:
We appreciate Dr. Whitcomb's thoughtful comments in his editorial (1) on our article on competency-based education and training in internal medicine. We agree that the ultimate goal of competency-based evaluation is “to ensure that residents are prepared to provide high-quality care to the patients whom they are likely to encounter when they enter practice.” To meet this goal, medical educators need a reliable and valid process for evaluating residents; at the same time, they must understand what aspects of residents' knowledge, skills, attitudes, and performance should form the substrate of the evaluation. We believe that it is important to distinguish “how to evaluate” (the evaluation process) from “what to evaluate” (the specific attributes of the resident that are evaluated).
