Abstract:
Canadian subspecialty residency training programs are developed around the learning objectives listed in the seven Canadian Medical Education Directives for Specialists (CanMEDS) criteria. Delivering content on objectives outside of those traditionally acquired in clinical rotations can be a challenge. In the present article, the planning process, curriculum development, and evaluation and assessment of a national subspecialty conference model in providing CanMEDS objective-based content sessions in the categories other than Medical Expert (Professional, Scholar, Communicator, Collaborator, Manager and Health Advocate) is described. It is hypothesized that the development of a CanMEDS objective-based curriculum would be positively received by subspecialty residents attending this conference. Attendees of sessions in a two-year curriculum cycle assessed the content as valuable, relevant and effective. The application of this process can be useful to other subspecialty residency training programs to meet the needs of their CanMEDS objective-based training requirements.
