I conducted a quick search on the Internet and PubMed searching on competencies, goals, objectives and learning outcomes. As a result I submitted a re-write of the histology competencies in the google drive in the suggestions document. There I also include several links concerning these terms.
Attached to this post is a 2015 article I found published in Europe: "Evaluation of competence-based teaching in higher education: From theory to practice" Evaluation and Program Planning 52:1-9, 2015.
