Canadian residency programs evaluated their research curricula against national standards for the CanMEDS Scholar role. The program benchmarked well, but national dialogue is needed for consistent competency assessment.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Anesthesiology Residency Research
Background:
- Canadian specialty training programs must integrate CanMEDS Scholar competencies.
- This study evaluated a residency research program for quality improvement and national benchmarking.
Approach:
- A logic model framework assessed program inputs, activities, and outputs against CanMEDS Scholar competencies.
- Departmental curriculum documents were reviewed, and residents were surveyed.
- Results were benchmarked against a national scan of anesthesiology resident research programs.
Key Points:
- The local program successfully mapped content to competencies.
- The program excelled in milestone-related assessments, funding, and support.
- Significant variation exists in research activities and balancing clinical/research demands was a challenge.
Conclusions:
- The logic model effectively benchmarked the program against national norms.
- National dialogue is essential to standardize CanMEDS Scholar activities and competency assessments.
- Aligning educational practices with expected outcomes requires further development.
