International Competency-based Medical Education

Overview: Postgraduate training programs are implementing Competence By Design (CBD) and other Competency Based Medical Education (CBME) initiatives. Effective adoption of CBME depends on systematic efforts to document and evaluate early implementation efforts. In this webinar, using a practical illustration from our own experience in the Emergency Medicine postgraduate training program at Queen’s University, we will introduce Rapid Evaluation as an approach to evaluating implementation and ensuring that we are on track to realizing the deep systems change promised by CBME.

Overview: In this webinar, Dr. Jonathan Amiel will review the background and goals of the 10-institution Core EPA Pilot convened by the Association of American Medical Colleges, lessons learned to date and the program evaluation currently underway.

Overview: Competency-Based Veterinary Education (CBVE) is a new initiative which benefited from the work in CBME. We began with the formation of a small international working group which recently published the CBVE Competency Framework and Core EPAs for day one practice. CBVE Milestones are in final revision. Assessment tools are under development. Simultaneous, coordinated development of all three components has been valuable.
