Competency based medical education: Putting deliberate practice into action

The last 5 years have been an exciting and transformational time for medical education as programs transitioned to an outcomes-based model of residency training. The traditional time-based model was premised on the idea that mere exposure, if long enough, leads to clinical competence. But not all practice makes perfect. Practice needs to be deliberate and requires regular feedback on performance along the way.  Competency based medical education (CBME) moves away from time as the outcome and uses demonstration of competence as the outcome. 

Paediatrics formally launched CBME in July 2021 making the 2021-2022 cohort our first official CBME cohort! This means that all of our residents are now fully immersed in CBME.  We recognize that this represents not only a change in medical education but in clinical flow and practice. We thank you for your tireless commitment to resident education!

Welcome to our Pediatrics CBME website. We hope this website will serve as a resource for Paediatrics faculty and residents on the front lines of CBME.
