Study Notes
Brenner's Stages of Clinical Competence
Brenner's Stages of Clinical Competence is a framework that describes the stages of skill acquisition and development in healthcare professionals. The stages are:
Novice
- Lack of experience and knowledge in a specific task or situation
- Rely heavily on rules and guidelines to guide their actions
- Focus on recalling knowledge rather than applying it
- Limited ability to adapt to new situations
Advanced Beginner
- Start to demonstrate marginally acceptable performance in a specific task or situation
- Begin to recognize the importance of context in decision-making
- Developing awareness of the limitations of their knowledge and skills
- Still require close supervision and guidance
Competent
- Demonstrate acceptable performance in a specific task or situation
- Able to recognize and respond to common scenarios
- Start to develop problem-solving skills and adapt to new situations
- Require less supervision, but still benefit from feedback
Expert
- Consistently demonstrate high-quality performance in a specific task or situation
- Able to recognize and respond to unusual or complex scenarios
- Highly skilled in problem-solving and adapting to new situations
- Serve as a resource for others and provide feedback
Proficient
- Demonstrate mastery of a specific task or situation
- Able to recognize and respond to complex and dynamic scenarios
- Highly proficient in problem-solving and adapting to new situations
- Often serve as a leader or mentor to others

Novice Stage of Clinical Competence
- Lack of experience and knowledge in the clinical setting, leading to reliance on rules and guidelines to perform tasks
- Focus on task completion rather than patient outcomes
- Limited ability to recognize cues and patterns, requiring close supervision and guidance
- Anxious or uncertain in clinical situations, with slow and deliberate performance
Advanced Beginner Stage of Clinical Competence
- Some experience in the clinical setting, but still lacking proficiency
- Beginning to recognize patterns and cues, but not always responding appropriately
- Developing a sense of what is normal and abnormal, with some tasks performed independently
- Still require guidance, with feelings of more confidence but some uncertainty
- Performance is still slow and may be inconsistent, with a growing sense of responsibility for patient outcomes
