Competency-Based Medical Education
During my medical education fellowship (2012-2013) I was asked to re-develop our workplace-based assessment forms. Little did I know that this would result in falling down a rabbit hole into the worlds of assessment, workplace-based assessment, and competency-based medical education.
​
Within half a year, I proposed a very ambitious program that would take a pointillism approach towards data collection about trainee performance in all the aspects of physicianhood.
​
This program was called McMAP (McMaster Modular Assessment Program). You can read more about this here.
​
Below is a diagram of the work that we have done so far along the lines of CBME via the McMAP system. I anticipate we will evolve our work to explore CBME via our new EPA system after implementation of Competence By Design for the RCPSC Emergency Medicine programs in July of 2018.
