Background: Outcomes-based approaches to undergraduate (UME) and graduate medical education (GME) using competencies, milestones and entrustable professional activities (EPAs) are increasingly being implemented globally. A critical assumption (or necessary foundational state) of outcomes-based approaches using competency frameworks is that the teachers (i.e. interprofessional healthcare educators) and institutions are highly competent in the clinical areas they teach and provide care. This has major implications for efforts in continuous professional development (CPD) as a large body of research shows this condition is not always met within training institutions. These session will explore current issues in implementing competencies using milestones and EPAs as part of the educational continuum.

Questions to be addressed in the discussion include:

  • Role of competencies, milestones and EPAs to meet public and health system needs
  • Impact of institutional performance on educational and clinical care outcomes
  • Essential competencies needed by interprofessional educators
  • Co-learning and co-production as potential approaches to enhance CPD in quality improvement and patient safety
  • What exactly is competency-based CPD? Is it really anything new?

    Eric has selected the following recent articles to stimulate discussion on this topic.

    Articles for Review in Support of the Discussion:
