The competence evaluation is a fundamental stage in the learning process. A resident should always be extensively evaluated in order for him to acquire all the requested skills to become a professional who can face future challenges. In recent years, the Competency-Based Model has internationally been established, a medical education model based on the acquisition of skills. To facilitate evaluation during training course, some tools have been introduced (Milestones; Entrusted Professional Activities) that might be routinely used.
