Webinar: The PerMedCoE competency framework to guide training and career development
Channel: PerMedCoE
Date: 2022-06-09

PerMedCoE aims at providing an efficient and sustainable infrastructure to support personalised medicine, adapting cell-level simulation methods to pre-exascale systems to translate omics data into molecular disease models. One of the activities to achieve this consists of a training programme to educate professionals in life sciences and HPC communities about the capabilities of PerMedCoE developments.
We created a competency framework to define the training needs and, based on them, implement our training programme. A competency is an observable ability of any professional, integrating multiple components such as knowledge, skills and behaviours. The PerMedCoE framework lists the competencies for professionals within the scope of the CoE: developing cell-level simulation tools with the long-term vision of using them in the clinical context.
The competency framework enables the definition of different professional profiles, which can help people identify the abilities needed for working in a specific role (e.g. bioinformatician, tool developer, biomedical researcher), and therefore, inform their professional development.
We will present the structure of the PerMedCoE competency framework, the first profiles created within it and how to explore it in the EMBL-EBI Competency Hub.
