Design and Implementation of a Competency-Based Transfusion Medicine Training Program in Canada

摘要

Transfusion medicine training in Canada is currently undergoing a transformation from a time- and processbased curriculum to a competency-based medical education framework. Transfusion medicine is the first accredited postgraduate medical education training program in Canada to adopt a purely competency-based curriculum. It is serving as an example for a number of other postgraduate medical training programs undergoing a similar transition. The purpose of this review is to highlight the elements of competency-based medical education, describe its application to transfusion medicine training, and report on the development and implementation of the new transfusion medicine curriculum in Canada.
