What is CBME?
CBME, Competency Based Medical Education, refers to the nation wide transition in the way residents are trained, evaluated and promoted. It's a cooperative effort being undertaken by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons and medical faculties across Canada. The essence of CBME is the move away from "time-based" model of medical education, and towards assessment based on specific demonstrated competencies.

What is CBD?
CBD, Competence by Design, refers to the hybrid version of CBME that the Royal College is using for implementation in Canada. The CBD model is not time free but time is re-conceptualized as a resource for learners and programs rather than as the key determinant of program requirements. CBME and CBD is often used interchangeably.
