The concept of competence is central to the professional system to ensure practitioners possess an adequate profile that enables them to effectively perform their role. In this editorial, we build on the concepts of competence and clinical reasoning to propose a core competence framework for osteopathy in Italy, which can inform current legislative development and future professional training and education. Apart from the specific context of Italy, this framework may also play a critical role in the development of professional education and regulation worldwide. The aim of this editorial is to initiate critical discussion on the topic of professional competence amongst educators, regulators and practitioners in the field of osteopathy.

Abstract
The concept of competence is central to the professional system to ensure practitioners possess an adequate profile that enables them to effectively perform their role. In this editorial, we build on the concepts of competence and clinical reasoning to propose a core competence framework for osteopathy in Italy, which can inform current legislative development and future professional training and education. Apart from the specific context of Italy, this framework may also play a critical role in the development of professional education and regulation worldwide. The aim of this editorial is to initiate critical discussion on the topic of professional competence amongst educators, regulators and practitioners in the field of osteopathy.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
