Abstract
Objective: This survey was aimed to (1) investigate the competency assessment
tools used for the occupational therapy (OT) postgraduate year (PGY) training in Taiwan,
(2) investigate the time of using competency assessment, and (3) study level of satisfaction
with the assessment tools in clinical teachers and trainees of the OT PGY training in Taiwan.
Methods: A survey was distributed to clinical teachers and trainees in Taiwan’s OT PGY
training programs from 2017 to 2018. The survey included sociodemographic information
of the participants (12 items), use of competency assessment (24 items), time of using
competency assessment (12 items), and satisfaction with the assessment tools (8 items).
Use and timing of competency assessment were rated with yes or no, and satisfaction with
the assessment tools was rated with a 5-point Likert scale. Results: A total of 85 clinical
teachers and 41 trainees participated the survey. The most frequently used competency
assessment tools were portfolio, written examination, and the Mini-CEX. The most frequently
used competency assessment tools before the PGY training were written examination, oral
test, and portfolio. The most frequently used competency tools during the training stages were
portfolio, Mini-CEX, and chart review. The most frequently used competency assessment
tools at the completion stage were written examination, portfolio, and Mini-CEX. Teachers and
trainees were highly satisfied with the assessment tools. Rates of dissatisfaction and extreme
dissatisfaction were below 5% for both the teachers and trainees. The level of satisfaction with
the assessment tools was significantly higher in the trainees than in the teachers. Conclusion:
Multiple assessment tools have been included in the OT PGY training in Taiwan. Both teachers
and trainees report high satisfaction with the competency assessment tools.
