Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Physician Competencies
  • Professional Development

Background:

  • The CanMEDS Framework identifies the Leader role as essential for physician training.
  • The current term 'Leader' may not fully encompass the intended scope of physician influence.
  • The role was previously termed 'Manager' before being renamed 'Leader' in 2015.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically evaluate the terminology of the CanMEDS Leader role.
  • To propose a more representative term that better reflects physician influence.
  • To enhance the understanding and application of this competency in medical education.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis of the CanMEDS Leader role and its associated terminology.
  • Comparison of the term 'Leader' with the described competencies of intentional influence.
  • Exploration of alternative terminology for improved clarity and inclusivity.

Main Results:

  • The term 'Leader' may imply hierarchical authority, potentially overshadowing informal influence.
  • The described CanMEDS competencies align more closely with intentional influence than traditional leadership.
  • Reframing the role as 'Influencer' offers a more comprehensive and inclusive descriptor.

Conclusions:

  • Re-characterizing the CanMEDS Leader role as 'Influencer' could improve its resonance with learners and collaborators.
  • An 'Influencer' role better captures the day-to-day positive impact physicians have in various environments.
  • Adopting the term 'Influencer' may broaden the applicability and understanding of this crucial physician competency.
