Libro Blanco de las ACES Pediátricas 2024 52 ❚ 28 Speciality specific clinical knowledge, skills and reasoning are distinguished as essential and core (labelled as 'C') or desirable (labelled as 'D') for two broad groups of problems: • 'C' representing essential/core for problems that are routinely encountered vs • 'D' representing desirable for problems that are rare and therefore may not be encountered during training. The competencies that are essential ('C') will be acquired during training from active hands-on clinical experience and work-based learning, and consolidated through teaching, personal study and continuing professional development. The competencies that are desirable ('D') are required for knowing how to recognise and approach the assessment, diagnosis and management of rare disorders. These are to be acquired through real or virtual clinical experience, case discussions, reports in journals, conferences and continuing professional development. Table 2.
