Implementing changes to a residency program curriculum before competency-based medical education: a survey of Canadian medical oncology program directors.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Postgraduate medical education is undergoing a paradigm shift in many universities worldwide, transitioning from a time-based model to competency-based medical education (cbme). Residency programs might have to alter clinical rotations, educational curricula, assessment methods, and faculty involvement in preparation for cbme, a process not yet characterized in the literature.

Methods

We surveyed Canadian medical oncology program directors on planned or newly implemented residency program changes in preparation for cbme.

Results

Prior to implementing cbme, all program directors changed at least 1 clinical rotation, most commonly making hematology/oncology (74%) entirely outpatient and eliminating radiation oncology (64%). Introductory rotations were altered
