Teams and Resources

Learn more about CBD by reading the rationale and background materials. You will need to know this because of your role the lead and key resource for your program.

Build a team within your program. Recruit supportive faculty and residents to share the work and build momentum.

Connect with the CBME office, to identify local supports and address any questions you may have:

• Connect with other disciplines about lessons learned.
• Obtain the policies, procedures and practices for CBD implementation from your PGME office (e.g., assessment platform, learner handover, competence committee, academic advisors).
• Discuss how to share the load (e.g., CBME committee, associate PD, resident leads, administrative and educational support).

Structure

Ask yourself if any rotation and service changes may be required for CBD implementation (e.g., adding a boot camp, creating additional training experiences and/or rotations; moving experiences/ rotations earlier or later to ensure entrustable professional activities (EPAs) are completed at the appropriate stage).

Work with your CBME lead and/or PG dean to explore impact and plan for implementation. Moving, adding or deleting experiences may have service implications.

Form a competence committee to take on progress decisions. You may be able to realign your RPC or assessment committee into a competence committee.

Plan for structured competence committee discussions and decision-making about residents’ progress including enhanced use of reporting tools and other documentation.
