Developing a dashboard to meet Competence Committee needs: a design-based research project
Background: Competency-based programs are being adopted in medical education around the world. Competence Committees must visualize learner assessment data effectively to support their decision-making. Dashboards play an integral role in decision support systems in other fields.
