Learning Outcomes
1. Define competency based education. 2. Define Entrustable Professional Activities. 3. Determine essential outcomes of a graduate of a
GIM Subspecialty program. 4. Outline pathways to success in achieving essential
outcomes in GIM Subspecialty programs.
Needs Assessment
Competence by Design is: A. The new trend in interior decorating. B. A way to ensure all training will be completed faster. C. A new kind of OSCE. D. Designed to address societal health needs and patient
outcomes.
Needs Assessment
An EPA is: A. Entrustable Professional Activity B. Entry Practical Ant C. Enemy of the Professional Accountant D. Early Professional Acts
What is Competence by Design(CBD)?
Multi-year, transformational change initiative in specialty medical education;
Focused on the learning continuum from the start of residency to retirement;
Based on a competency model of education and assessment; and
Designed to address societal health need and patient outcomes.

Prelude: CBD and CanMEDS 2015
How can we ensure our graduates are competent in all needed domains…?
12
Why CBD? Why Now? con’t
By focusing on learning rather than time, CBD will enable our MedEd system to assess for competence, but teach for excellence; ensure physician’s skills and abilities evolve throughout
practice—potentially reducing medical errors; respond to changing patient and societal needs; address gaps in the current system, like the “failure to
fail” culture of resident education; reduce burden on Faculties, promoting smoother
credentialing and accreditation; and increase accountability and promote transparency in
training.

Transformation of Postgraduate Education

Targeted to outcomes
Deliberate Practice
Direct Observation
Language -If you were training a Puffer Fish Chef?
Entrustable Professional Activities – Professional life activities that define the discipline.
Competencies – Observable Ability Milestones – Observable behaviors at various stages
on a continuum.
“EPAs are those professional activities that together constitute the mass of critical elements that operationally define a profession.”
“Each of these activities may be defined as a unit of work that should only be entrusted upon a competent enough professional.”
Olle ten Cate, and Fedde Scheele. Acad. Med. 2007; 82:542-547.
“Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs)”

Competency Based Training
“Competency is an observable ability of a health professional, integrating multiple components such as knowledge, skills, values and attitudes. Since competencies are observable, they can be measured and assessed to assure their acquisition. Competencies can be assembled like building blocks to facilitate progressive development..” Frank et al. Med Teach 2010; 32(8): 631-7.
Current trend of itemizing the “parts” that are needed for successful completion of training.
CanMEDS 2015: What Are the Benefits?
Educators will be able to: • Identify progress of learners at different stages of training;• Provide guidance to address identified gaps in learning; • Employ better standards for assessment; and • Benefit from newly created faculty development tools
and resources.
Learners will be able to:• Follow a clear and transparent roadmap that promotes
learning and growth at each stage of training and throughout practice.
19
CanMEDS 2015: Planned Updates
• Introduce new element – milestones to mark the progression of a competence
• Emphasis on the continuum• Integrate new content and themes
(e.g. patient safety)
• Create new faculty development resources and tools

Literature Review of GIM Training:
United States: Discrepancy between practice patterns of practicing
internists and trainingMandel1988; Baker1998;Weist2002; Blumenthal 2001.
Canada: Snell in 1989 found deficiencies in training in ambulatory
care, management of complex disorders over time, management of geriatric patients and those with psychosocial problems. Other areas of deficiency included procedures, teaching skills, continuing self-education skills as well as administration and office management.
Survey of Canadian Graduates - 2006: Needs met and importance of various content areas of training programs.
Expressed as percentage of respondents answering 4 or 5 on the Likert Scale.

Survey of Competencies on Draft Royal College GIM Objectives of Training - 2011
The competencies to be surveyed were developed after extensive consultation with GIM PDs, GIM Division Directors, Canadian Society of Internal Medicine (CSIM) over 8 years. The draft document of objectives forwarded to the Royal College was used as the template.Translated into French by the CSIM translator and forwarded to the French membership.Card, PausJenssen, Ottenbreit. BMC Research Notes 2011 4:480 for detailed results. Results used to further refine the GIM Objectives of Training. http://www.royalcollege.ca/portal/page/portal/rc/public
Key Features of Current GIM Training Programs At the end of GIM Training the graduatewill be able to manage/perform:
At the end of GIM Training the graduate will be able to:
1. Common & Emergency Internal Medicine Conditions
2. Internal Medicine conditions before, during and after pregnancy.
3. Multi-system disease. 4. Perioperative Care. 5. Risk Reduction 6. Procedures:
1. Ambulatory Blood Pressure monitoring
2. Holter monitoring3. Exercise Stress Testing 4. Invasive and non-invasive
ventilation
1. Develop a practice that is: • Adapted to societal needs. • Maintains generalist principles. but
may be quite different than others to meet needs of their community.
• Able to adapt over time. • Respects limits.• Incorporates effective inter and
intra-professional collaboration including excellence in transitions in care.
2. Improve population health outcomes through:
• Patient Safety Initiatives. • Preventive Care• Health Care Delivery Initiatives. • Advocacy for vulnerable
populations. • Education (patients, students,
and/or colleagues)
