CBME Competency-based education is an approach to preparing physicians for practice that is fundamentally oriented to graduate outcome abilities and organized around competencies derived from an analysis of societal and patient needs. It deemphasizes time-based training and promises greater accountability, flexibility, and learner centeredness (p636) Frank, J. R., Mungroo, R., Ahmad, Y., Wang, M., De Rossi, S., & Horsley, T. (2010). Toward a definition of competency-based education in medicine: A systematic review of published definitions. Medical Teacher, 32(8), 631-637. 12
Tea- Steeping model The current model of education is a time-based model. Hodges describes this as the tea-steeping model : we put the student (tea) in medical school (hot water) for a fixed period of time and voila! After a historically determined interval of time, we assume a competent practitioner, like a good cup of tea, will result Hodges, B. D. (2010). A tea-steeping or i-doc model for medical education?.

2013-2014 The curriculum was started for only the general pediatric rotations as a pilot and to limit the number of faculty involved. The PGY 1 residents General Pediatric experiences ( 22 weeks)» CTU-4 weeks» Community Brampton-4 weeks» Community St. Joseph s Healthcare-4 weeks» CTU Waterloo-4 weeks» Float call at McMaster-6 weeks Occurred in the form of competency-based education with learning outcomes, milestones and assessment. 21

Student Progression and Assessment Student progression was based on a comprehensive assessment program. The PGY 1 resident had to meet the milestones and objectives successfully. The competency-based medical education (CBME) curriculum was considered a comprehensive block of 22 weeks and thus they had the full time period to achieve the stated objectives. 27
Student Progression and Assessment Assessments at the end of each rotation block were formative to allow the resident to reflect on areas of improvement. At the end of their 22 weeks, all assessments were reviewed to see if the learner had met their objectives and reached the appropriate milestones. 28
Student Progression and Assessment Objective Structured Clinical exam (OSCE) twice a year. Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) and Short Answer Questions (SAQ) twice a year.
