Postgraduate medical education is an essential societal enterprise that prepares highly skilled physicians for the health workforce. In recent years, PGME systems have been criticized worldwide problems with variable graduate abilities, concerns about patient safety, and issues teaching assessment methods. response, competency based approaches, emphasis on outcomes, proposed as direction 21st century profession education. However, there are few published models of large-scale implementation...
In the past decade, Canadian system of postgraduate medical education has been transformed with implementation a new approach to competency based called Competence by Design. The Royal College Physicians and Surgeons Canada (Royal College) developed an time-variable adapted that design for medical, surgical, diagnostic disciplines. New educational standards entrustable professional activities consistent this were co-created 67 specialties subspecialties, was scaled up across 17 universities...
Program evaluation is an essential, but often neglected, activity in any transformational educational change. Competence by Design was a large-scale change initiative to implement competency-based time-variable system Canadian postgraduate medical education.

Competency based medical education is being adopted around the world.Accreditation plays a vital role as an enabler in adoption and implementation of competency education, but little has been published about how design accreditation system facilitates this transformation.The Canadian postgraduate environment recently transitioned to outcomes-based parallel with education.Using example, we characterize four features that can facilitate education: theoretical underpinning, quality focus,...
Pharmacogenetics attempts to identify inter-individual genetic differences that are predictive of variable drug response and propensity side effects, with the prospect assisting physicians select most appropriate dosage for treatment. However, many concerns regarding tests exist. We sought test opinions undergraduate science medical students in southern Ontario universities toward pharmacogenetic testing.Questionnaires were completed by 910 medicine from 2005 2007. Despite students' results...

Survey questions were derived from guiding documents published by Royal College Physicians and Surgeons Canada reflecting intended processes design.Results Response rate 39% (113/293) with representation eligible...
Organizational readiness is critical for successful implementation of an innovation. We evaluated program to implement Competence by Design (CBD), a model Competency-Based Medical Education (CBME), among Canadian postgraduate training programs.A survey directors was distributed 1 month prior CBD in 2019. Questions were informed the R = MC2 framework organizational and addressed: motivation, general capacity change, innovation-specific capacity. An overall score calculated. ANOVA conducted...
