Prelude: CBD and CanMEDS 2015

3

Our Fellows tell us that we do a good job, but that we can always do better to

• ensure competence in the next generation; and

• provide high quality training programs.

Prelude: CBD and CanMEDS 2015

4

One of these is not like the others …

Time-based Achievement Achievement

Prelude: CBD and CanMEDS 2015

5

How can we ensure our graduates are competent in all needed domains…?

The Answer: CBD

6

Competence by Design (CBD) is • focused on the learning continuum from the

start of residency to retirement;• based on a competency model of education

and assessment; and• designed to address societal health needs

and patient outcomes.

Why CBD? Why Now?

7

The CBD program will:• Align medical education with the evidence-based

recommendation developed by the Future of Medical Education in Canada Postgraduate (FMEC-PG) project.

• Support the development, implementation, and evaluation of competency-based, learner-focused education to meet the diverse learning needs of residents and the evolving health care needs of Canadians.

• Reflect, and respond to, the world-wide movement towards competency-based medical education.

Why CBD? Why Now? con’t

8

By focusing on learning rather than time, CBD will enable our MedEd system to• assess for competence, but teach for excellence; • ensure physician’s skills and abilities evolve throughout

practice—potentially reducing medical errors;• respond to changing patient and societal needs;• address gaps in the current system, like the “failure to fail”

culture of resident education;• reduce burden on Faculties, promoting smoother

credentialing and accreditation; and• increase accountability and promote transparency in

training.

Connecting CBD and CanMEDS

9

• As part of the Competence By Design (CBD) program, the Royal College has launched a project to update the existing CanMEDS Framework entitled CanMEDS 2015.

CanMEDS 2015: Planned Updates

10

• Introduce new element – milestones to mark the progression of a competence

• Emphasis on the continuum• Integrate new content and themes

(e.g. patient safety)• Create new faculty development

resources and tools

CanMEDS 2015: Desired Outcomes

12

• Practical framework to support competence across the continuum of a physician’s career.

• Robust implementation plan to support Fellows and medical educators with the roll-out of CanMEDS 2015.

Planned Updates: Milestones and CBD

13

• Reflect advances of the past decade, ensuring teaching methods address the realities of today (e.g. patient safety).

• Introduce milestones across the continuum of medical education (from residency to retirement).

By updating the framework, CanMEDS 2015 will:

CanMEDS 2015: What Are the Benefits?

14

Educators will be able to: • Identify progress of learners at different stages of training;• Provide guidance to address identified gaps in learning; • Employ better standards for assessment; and • Benefit from newly created faculty development tools

and resources.Learners will be able to:• Follow a clear and transparent roadmap that promotes

learning and growth at each stage of training and throughout practice.

CanMEDS 2015: How the Changes Will Happen

CanMEDS 2015: Who Will Lead these Changes

17

Expert Working Groups (EWGs): • Assembled around the seven CanMEDS Roles.• Group formed to develop new Patient Safety content.Integration Committee: • Formed to integrate EWGs output into cohesive drafts.

• Drafts to be used during consultation and review.• Will incorporate feedback into final, updated Framework. National Advisory Committee: • Provides strategic direction and input on overall initiative.• Includes representatives from wide range of key

stakeholders and partner organizations, including international.

Changes to the CanMEDS Framework will impact all levels of medical education. We’ve begun a comprehensive

consultation process to ensure we get it right.

CanMEDS 2015: What’s Been Done

Data analysis is underway and will shape the work of the CanMEDS 2015 EWGs.

Consultations to date include:National Online Survey• Conducted in May-June to gather feedback on the current

CanMEDS Framework.• Release of the data gathered will begin in November 2013.ICRE Town Hall: • Town Hall held at the International Conference on Residency

Education (ICRE) in September 2013.• Attendees learned about the proposed changes

and provided input through an interactive setting.

CanMEDS 2015: Next Steps

21

In the coming months:• The CanMEDS 2015 EWGs will release preliminary

reports to their respective ePanels, to gather input and ensure they are on the right track.

• The release of the final results from the National Online Survey will begin in November 2013.

• Final reports from the EWGs will be submitted to the Royal College Integration Committee and 2015 National Advisory Committee in December 2013.

• Input information on release of next draft and input will begin in February 2014.

CanMEDS 2015: Next Steps

22

By 2015:• Final production, translation and

publication of framework.• Launch CanMEDS 2015 and faculty

support tools in September.

CanMEDS 2015: Next Steps

23

Beyond 2015:• By its nature, the CanMEDS Framework

is evergreen, and it will continue to be reviewed and revised beyond 2015 to ensure it meets the needs and realities of physicians.

• We are committed to providing ongoing support, including in areas such as specialty-specific implementation and faculty development.
