The increasing complexity of healthcare delivery and rapid technological advancement demand a workforce equipped with adaptable, job-relevant competencies. This study proposes a competency-based mapping model to develop a modular curriculum framework for healthcare education. Core competencies examined include clinical learning, digital health proficiency, infection control, communication effectiveness, and critical thinking. Using a quantitative cross-sectional survey design, data from 425 participants across healthcare institutions and educational providers were analyzed through chi-square tests and regression analysis. Significant gaps (p < 0.01) were identified in digital health, communication, and critical thinking. A modular curriculum with structured competency mapping and visual heatmaps is proposed to enhance workforce alignment and graduate employability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
