Abstract
Introduction: Competency-based medical education (CBME) offers perceived advantages and benefits for postgraduate medical education (PGME) and the training of competent physicians. The purpose of our study was to gain insights from those involved in implementing CBME in two residency programs to inform ongoing implementation practices.
Methods: We conducted a qualitative descriptive study to explore the perspectives of multiple stakeholders involved in the implementation of CBME in two residency programs (the first cohort) to launch the Royal College’s Competence by Design model at one Canadian university. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 17 participants across six stakeholder groups including residents, department chairs, program directors, faculty, medical educators, and program administrators. Data collection and analysis were iterative and reflexive to enhance the authenticity of the results.
Results: The participants’ perspectives organized around three key themes including: a) contextualizing curriculum and assessment practices with educational goals of CBME, b) coordinating new administrative requirements to support implementation, and c) adaptability toward a competency-based program structure, each with sub-themes.
Conclusion: By eliciting the perspectives of different stakeholder groups who experienced the implementation processes, we developed a common understanding regarding facilitators and challenges for program directors, program administrators and educational leaders across PGME. Results from our study contribute to the scholarly conversation regarding the key aspects related to CBME implementation and serve to inform its ongoing development and application in various educational contexts.
Résumé
Introduction : La formation médicale axée sur les compétences (FMAC) offre des avantages et des bénéfices perçus pour les études médicales postdoctorales et la formation de médecins compétents. Le but de notre étude était d’apprendre des personnes impliquées dans l’implantation de la FMAC dans deux programmes de résidence afin d'informer les pratiques de mise en œuvre en cours.
Méthodes : Nous avons réalisé une étude qualitative descriptive pour explorer les perspectives de plusieurs parties prenantes impliquées dans la mise en œuvre de la FMAC dans deux programmes de résidence (la première cohorte) visant à mettre en place le modèle Compétence par conception du Collège royal dans une université canadienne. Des entrevues semi-structurés ont été menés auprès de 17 participants issus de six groupes de parties prenantes, notamment des résidents, des chefs de département, des directeurs de programme, des membres de la faculté, des éducateurs médicaux et des administrateurs de programme. La collecte et l'analyse des données étaient itératives et réflexives afin d’enrichir l'authenticité des résultats.
Résultats : Les perspectives des participants se sont organisées autour de trois thèmes clés, à savoir : a) contextualiser les pratiques de curriculum et d'évaluation avec les objectifs d'apprentissage de la FMAC, b) coordonner les nouvelles exigences administratives pour soutenir la mise en œuvre, et c) s'adapter à une structure de programme axée sur les compétences, chacun avec des sous-thèmes.
Conclusion : En recueillant les perspectives des différents groupes de parties prenantes ayant vécu les processus de mise en œuvre, nous avons développé une compréhension commune des facilitateurs et des défis pour les directeurs de programme, les administrateurs de programme et les leaders éducatifs dans la formation médicale postdoctorale. Les résultats de notre étude contribuent à la conversation savante concernant les aspects clés liés à la mise en œuvre de la FMAC et servent à informer son développement et son application en cours dans différents contextes éducatifs.
