Abstract
A specialist physician needs to understand their personal expertise boundaries as well as their capabilities. A study examined doctor specialist training in general medicine to understand their self-evaluations across multiple subjects. The 139 post-graduate general practice trainees from Westfalen-Lippe Medical Association conduct subjective assessments of confidence regarding key competencies and 47 general practice counseling scenarios. A five-point Likert scale enabled the recording of participants' self-assessments. The examination evaluated self-evaluation acceptability together with feasibility and measured mean scores and reliability estimates and explored variations between groups and result probabilities. The measured subjective confidence level of all participants averaged at 3.4 points on a 5-point rating scale. The evaluation using Cronbach's alpha produced consistent results that met >0.8 yet it presented substantial variations both inside competency groups and between the participants. The biographical data collected helps to validate these study findings that display variations. Participants indicated that systematic learning needs data collection and mentor/trainer discussions about these requirements lead to improved specialist training outcomes. A postgraduate training portfolio should integrate elements for self-assessment. The assessment methods require additional formative approaches.
