Summary S CPD is expected of us and is part of our social contract with the patient, society and the profession S CPD is required by the regulatory authorities but they have delegated verification to the Colleges (at present) S CPD can contribute positively to our professional lives and ensure we continuously improve through learning S We will know where we are at (self-referenced) and how we are doing
Editor's Notes
- Commitments and obligations in return for privileges
- Change in red
- One might reasonably ask why did we choose to have nine not seven. However, for a surgical college it was thought that medical and technical expertise were different, and surgery is most certainly a procedural specialty and deserved a competency devoted to it. Also the decision to operate or not to operate, the decision to treat or palliate is so essential to surgery that clinical decision making and judgement were added to the Can Meds seven. CanMeds most certainly lacks the judgement competency so important to all medical specialties.There is also overlap between the comptencies which is displayed on the figure although obviously each competency can overlap with many of the others.
- Each competency is described by three patterns of behaviour. There is no special order to the patterns of behaviour. One does not lead to another but there is often considerable overlap.
- The assessment tool developed uses a 4 point leikert rating scale – poor, marginal, good, excellent. The behavioural markers are used to describe illustrative behaviours to guide the rating.Some examples of the different patterns of behaviourare shown in the following slides. Each pattern of behaviour is rated, making 27 patterns of behaviour to be assessed.
- There is the option to make free text comments for each competency, combining comments for each of the three patterns of behaviour for that competency.
