Examination of the outcomes of competency-based medical education in family medicine training in Canada

The College of Family Physicians of Canada and the University of Alberta are collaborating on a project to explore outcomes and lessons learned to enhance our understanding of large scale educational interventions and to determine early findings related to the impact of competency based medical education (CBME) in family medicine training in Canada. The project will use a mixed methods approach to further the understanding of both the challenges and outcomes for family medicine residents experiencing competency based medical education and assessment in family medicine residency training programs in Canada. This collaboration and mutual exchange of complementary data will allow for exceptional opportunities to examine patterns and trends in competencies development and outcomes. The project will enhance our understanding of the impact of both curriculum and assessment interventions in family medicine. This in turn will inform future family medicine educational initiatives and continuous quality improvement activities in family medicine training programs in Canada.
