The purpose of this site is:

  • to provide a place to house resources, local, provincial, and national, that will assist with your development of CBME; and
  • to support the development and engagement of all faculty and stakeholders in the transition to CBME.

Overview

Determining Learner needs for CBD Transitions

Competency based medical education enables learner centered learning by enabling the learner to track and focus on their own needed learning goals. It also depends on frequent coaching feedback with the learner to enable a continuous improvement in performance. To focus change efforts in a meaningful way, the Learner Implementation Working Group will perform a mixed method evaluation of the current learning and feedback climate at the University of Saskatchewan as to understand resident perceptions and readiness to change. A Learning Climate survey annually administered will provide some baseline data. Focus groups will be held at each programs academic session by a neutral interviewer to explore perceptions of CBD and its implementation at the University of Saskatchewan.
