Factors affecting the validity of competence evaluation in the health professions, including characteristics of the decision situation and the type of information customarily used to reach competence decisions, are discussed. Subsequently, an alternative model is described that holds promise for increasing the validity of competence evaluation. The article concludes with a call for greater conceptual clarity when competence evaluation in the health professions is planned and conducted.
