Area of Science:

Medical Education
Surgical Training
Competency-Based Education

Background:

Bariatric fellowship training traditionally relied on time-based progression and minimum case numbers for competence assessment.
Graduate medical education is shifting towards competency-based medical education (CBME), emphasizing continuous evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

To transition the bariatric surgery fellowship curriculum from a time-based to a competency-based model.
To implement principles of competency-based medical education in bariatric fellowship training as directed by the American Board of Surgery.

Main Methods:

The ASMBS Education and Training Committee formed a task force to develop a new curriculum and evaluation tools.
A pilot program was initiated to test the new competency-based curriculum.

Main Results:

A competency-based curriculum with 6 modules, including cognitive and technical milestones, was developed.
Innovative evaluation tools were created to assess learner competence.
A pilot program involving 10 programs and 19 fellows was launched for the 2016-2017 academic year.

Conclusions:

The ASMBS Education Committee is spearheading the development of competency-based medical education for bariatric fellowship programs.
This initiative represents a significant shift towards modernizing surgical training standards.
