Title
Using a Rapid-Cycle Approach to Evaluate Implementation of Competency-Based Medical Education
Length of Presentation
Background/Purpose
Queen's University implemented competency-based medical education (CBME) across all 29 programs on July 1, 2017. The purpose of this study is to describe key stakeholders lived experiences in CBME Foundation of Discipline stage in the Ophthalmology department.
Methods
Using a case study approach, a mixed method rapid-cycle evaluation was conducted during the 2018-2019 academic year. The evaluation consisted of two evaluation cycles with the first round of interviews and focus groups occurring in October 2018 and in March 2019. Residents, faculty, academic advisors, competence committee members, program director, program administrator, and the educational consultant were interviewed. Recommendations were implemented in January 2019 and June 2019.
Results
Stakeholders identified the need to build a shared understanding about how to both trigger assessments and encourage all faculty members to engage in the process. Stakeholders also described how their roles continued to evolve following CBME implementation. Participants discussed how the department functioned and would continue to build understanding about the assessment process. The rapid-cycle evaluation identified the need for streamlining and clarifying specific Entrustable Professional Activities. Stakeholders did suggest a preference for narrative feedback and identified the benefits of the feedback provided.
Conclusion
Rapid-cycle evaluation has been a valuable process for identifying key strengths and recommendations following implementation of a new CBME curriculum. Exploring lived experiences resulted in positive and immediate improvements to the residency program. Both the recommendations and evaluative approach will benefit other departments and institutions as they implement CBME.
