Current and Future Plans
 CanMEDS-skilled Faculty.
 Outcome:
 CanMEDS Cttee restructuring PLUS a Train-the-Trainers
program:
 Vertical TTT Program: inclusive of Senior Faculty and
Residents
 Horizontal TTT Program: Compulsory longitudinal
program
Restructuring the System of Training:
 The CanMEDS Subcommittee
 Outcome:
 Expansion of Cttee membership to 6 Seniors
(Consultants/Assistants) and 1 Educational
Specialist (from the College of Medicine) PLUS 12
Residents from R1, R2 and R3.
Restructuring the System of Training:
 The CanMEDS Training Proposal (Syllabus)
 Outcome:
 The CanMEDS Training Proposal is rich in its
content and will serve as a reference at least for
the initial drafting of the TTT educational curriculum
(together with other resources as outlined below).
The CanMEDS Champions: Faculty &
Resident
 Outcome:
 The new number of members will “set in motion”
the practical creation of skilled Champions (from
Seniors and Residents) by facilitating the
establishment of “ Competency-focused Micro
Teams” e.g. Micro-team for the Communicator
Role, Micro-team for the Professional Role etc.
The CanMEDS Champions: Faculty &
Resident
 Outcome:
 Each micro-team will consist of 1 Senior and 2 Residents at
different levels of training.
R1
Resident
Consultant
R2

Champions
Micro-Team
Train-the-Trainers Workshops
 Outcome:
 Each micro-team will be entrusted with the task of building a full-
curriculum for their allocated competency. Material (handouts,
power-point etc) prepared would have to be presented to the
committee and approved for inclusion in the TTT workshop.
 Resources from KAMC CanMEDS Collaborating centre CD as well
as from the RCP of Canada website may provide the micro-
teams with useful material.

Restructuring the Process
of Training
Restructuring the Process of Training and Assessment:
1. CanMEDS Competencies “Teaching Moments”.
2. Competency Structured Topic Presentation.
3. Competency Structured Morning Meeting discussion format.
4. Competency structured Ward Round.
5. Competency-enhancing Cognitive Aids like the 5S Cognitive
Aid, Communication Cognitive Aids etc.
Restructuring the Process of Training and Assessment:
6. End-of-Rotation Competency Appraisal Form (ERCA).
7. Online Logbook
8. Using CanMEDS competencies in the Journal Club.
9. Dedicated Morning Meeting on the CanMEDS Competencies; 1st Monday of
each Month.
10. Wiggio CanMEDS Resource webpage.
CanMEDS Competencies “Teaching Moments”
 Highlighting in an “Explicit” manner a CanMEDS competency whilst
dealing with a patient care issue e.g.
 Medical Expert with H&P
 Collaborator role when referring a patient
 Scholar when discussing New evidence, NNT etc
 Advocacy when referring to Home Health Care etc
 Leader/Manager when dealing with system/process improvement
 Communicator when breaking bad news etc
 Professionalism when discussing ethical issues etc
The Competency Structured Presentation (CSP)
 Classically and for educational purposes both undergraduates
and postgraduates present clinical topics in a narrative or
case-based style.
 In both of these, classic headings that are used include
definitions, etiology, epidemiology, clinical presentation,
differential diagnosis, investigations, therapy and prognosis
etc.
The Competency Structured Presentation (CSP)
 These formats of presentation do not explicitly
emphasize the new domains of knowledge or skills
necessary for both quality of care as outlined above or
empower the trainees with all the competencies outlined
by CanMeds or similar bodies for a comprehensive
outcome-based training and patient care.
The Competency Structured Presentation (CSP)
 Topic heading are now deliberately portrayed under
competency headings.
 Presumably, this conceptual framework or map would assist in
realizing a more competency-directed clinical training and
decision making and in drafting a comprehensive, high-
quality management plan for every patient.
 Practical patient-centered care actions and interventions may
thus be incorporated in the clinical decision process.

The CanMeds Ward Round!
• 12 Yr old, was admitted with an exacerbation of Bronchial Asthma- a new
diagnosis.
• CanMed Ward Round: Resident Training
–As a medical expert: were the H & P up to CanMeds standard-structured,
comprehensive, relevant etc.
–As a Communicator: Presentation skill? Body-Language? How did he/she
convey the news to the family? Empathy & support?
–As a Collaborator: Were the necessary referrals appropriate and
professionally arranged?
• 12 Yr old, was admitted with an exacerbation of Bronchial Asthma- a new diagnosis.
• CanMed Ward Round: Resident Training
– As a Leader: Time and resource utilization are appropriate?
– As Health Advocate: Any arrangements with social and other healthcare facilities?
– As a Scholar: Literature searching exercise on the options of care and preventive
strategies for this particular patient.
– As a Professional: Attitude and behavior observation, discussion of the ethical
issues re-steroid therapy etc

    Current and FuturePlans  CanMEDS-skilled Faculty.  Outcome:  CanMEDS Cttee restructuring PLUS a Train-the-Trainers program:  Vertical TTT Program: inclusive of Senior Faculty and Residents  Horizontal TTT Program: Compulsory longitudinal program
  • 19.
    Restructuring the Systemof Training:  The CanMEDS Subcommittee  Outcome:  Expansion of Cttee membership to 6 Seniors (Consultants/Assistants) and 1 Educational Specialist (from the College of Medicine) PLUS 12 Residents from R1, R2 and R3.
  • 20.
    Restructuring the Systemof Training:  The CanMEDS Training Proposal (Syllabus)  Outcome:  The CanMEDS Training Proposal is rich in its content and will serve as a reference at least for the initial drafting of the TTT educational curriculum (together with other resources as outlined below).
  • 21.
    The CanMEDS Champions:Faculty & Resident  Outcome:  The new number of members will “set in motion” the practical creation of skilled Champions (from Seniors and Residents) by facilitating the establishment of “ Competency-focused Micro Teams” e.g. Micro-team for the Communicator Role, Micro-team for the Professional Role etc.
  • 22.
    The CanMEDS Champions:Faculty & Resident  Outcome:  Each micro-team will consist of 1 Senior and 2 Residents at different levels of training. R1 Resident Consultant R2 Competency Champions Micro-Team
  • 23.
    Train-the-Trainers Workshops  Outcome: Each micro-team will be entrusted with the task of building a full- curriculum for their allocated competency. Material (handouts, power-point etc) prepared would have to be presented to the committee and approved for inclusion in the TTT workshop.  Resources from KAMC CanMEDS Collaborating centre CD as well as from the RCP of Canada website may provide the micro- teams with useful material.  RCP of Canada CanMEDS best practice: http://www.royalcollege.ca/portal/page/portal/rc/canmeds/whatworks

    The Competency StructuredPresentation (CSP)  Classically and for educational purposes both undergraduates and postgraduates present clinical topics in a narrative or case-based style.  In both of these, classic headings that are used include definitions, etiology, epidemiology, clinical presentation, differential diagnosis, investigations, therapy and prognosis etc.
  • 38.
    The Competency StructuredPresentation (CSP)  These formats of presentation do not explicitly emphasize the new domains of knowledge or skills necessary for both quality of care as outlined above or empower the trainees with all the competencies outlined by CanMeds or similar bodies for a comprehensive outcome-based training and patient care.
  • 39.
    The Competency StructuredPresentation (CSP)  Topic heading are now deliberately portrayed under competency headings.  Presumably, this conceptual framework or map would assist in realizing a more competency-directed clinical training and decision making and in drafting a comprehensive, high- quality management plan for every patient.  Practical patient-centered care actions and interventions may thus be incorporated in the clinical decision process.
