Transversal competency development in healthcare professionals: A scoping literature review to identify effective educational paradigms, principles and strategies

Abstract

Transversal Competencies (TCs) (interpersonal, intrapersonal, critical thinking and global citizenship skills) are essential skills, knowledge and behaviours for work and life success. Limited literature exists on methods to develop TC for adult education. This scoping review explores how TCs are being embedded into health professional learning and strategies to deliver training for the self-directed learner.
