Workshop Learning Objectives After active engagement during this workshop you will be better able to: Explain the seven CanMEDS Roles and their relevance to CPD Describe key approaches to the use of the CanMEDS framework in the identification of needs assessment and evaluation strategies Discuss the role for CanMEDS in both selflearning and assessment
Explore integrating the CanMEDS Roles In the context of a specific Comprehensive Program
CPSO Processes that lead to need for Comprehensive Program Assessments through QA Investigations through ICRC Change of Scope of Practice Re-Entry to Practice
Current Approach at CPSO to Physician Enhancement Specific courses of study Some CPSO educational programs e.g. record-keeping, prescribing CPSO arranges formal preceptorships Nothing exists that is comprehensive
CPSO Identified Need o o o o Educational Program for Physicians with needs that provides MORE than clinical information in an educationally evidence-informed format Family Medicine best place for pilot Approached CEPD and DFCM at University of Toronto Program development grant from CPSO
Medical Education Literature Review Longitudinal Small Group Interaction with peers Practice-based Directed self-assessment Opinion leaders Preceptoring
Curriculum Committees and Program Pilot Inclusive Curriculum Committees April 2010 CACHE April 2011 June 2011 July 2011 2010-2011 Pilot Program with 10 participants
CanMEDS Roles
Proposed Program Components Recruitment- Intake and assessment appropriate participants Shared small group learning ( 5 Weekends ) designed around CanMEDS-FM Roles: using multiple teaching methods (interactive, casebased, standardized patients, PBSGL modules) Between-session homework Matched Preceptors Exit documentation and evaluation
Weekend Design Friday Afternoon and Evening Content/Topics: Competencies Ice Breaker- Building community of practice rapport Describe and analyze practice, patients, and health care team Professional, Manager and Advocate Saturday Morning Saturday Afternoon Sunday Morning Interactive presentations Workshops Standardized patients Medical Expert, Collaborator and Communicator Problem Based Small Group Learning Medical Expert Interactive presentations Workshop Manager, Scholar, and Collaborator
Therapeutic Themes Family Medicine relevant Therapeutic Theme established for each weekend
Mild Remedial Change of Scope Re-entry Practising IMGs CFPR Program Mature Physicians Personal desire to maintain clinical competence and practice standards
Discussion Have you identified a need for a comprehensive CE program based on ALL CanMEDS Roles in your health care community? De-emphasize Medical Expert? Address all Roles?

Discussion CanMEDS Roles: Advantages of using CanMEDS Framework to build curriculum? Challenges of using CanMEDS Framework to build curriculum?
Program Evaluation Strategies Three main areas to evaluate: Perceived program impact Did it change behaviour and how? Sustainability Can the program continue beyond the pilot and what will it take for this to happen? Transferability What would it take to implement the curriculum in other (Non-Toronto) settings?
Multi-Source Feedback 1. Feedback on each session over 5 weekends. 2. Discussion and evaluation on the Sunday morning of the 5 th weekend. 3. Collegial feedback from Canadian Association of Continuing Health Education (CACHE).
Results so far Uniformly positive evaluations PBSG modules very popular Group planning on staying together AFTER the program is finished Recognition of the importance of all the CanMEDS-FM Roles and the need to specifically address and develop those competencies
I write more detailed referral letters with specific questions including who is responsible for follow-up. As a result, I get more detailed reports from specialists, and my patients receive better care.
I m more thorough in researching patient history before composing referral letters a learning experience for myself about the clinical condition and our EMR system.
I am now allowing time for making notes in the appointment time. My notes are more complete, I m no longer taking work home, and my billing is more accurate.
The cumulative patient profile facilitates better medicine, especially when the patient is seen by a colleague. My colleagues have adopted this practice.
The QI approach to change in practice has been implemented nationally.
Program Goal 2011 2012 To equip primary care physicians with high quality skills for 21 st century practice.
Learning Objectives 2011 2012 Improve their approach to managing clinical conditions. Use technology to answer clinical questions effectively. Provide better patient-centred care. Collaborate and communicate more effectively with others in the healthcare system. Develop an individualized approach to life-long learning & professional development.
