Involving ophthalmology departmental stakeholders in developing workplace-based assessment tools.

Objective: As competency-based medical education (CBME) rolls out across Canada, the assessment process is changing. Our purpose was to involve stakeholders in the selection and modification of workplace-based assessment (WBA) tools for use in an ophthalmology residency program.

Design: This is a qualitative case study conducted in one ophthalmology department at a midsized teaching hospital in eastern Ontario.

Exploring How the New Entrustable Professional Activity Assessment Tools Affect the Quality of Feedback Given to Medical Oncology Residents.

The post-graduate medical programs at Queen's University transitioned to a competency-based medical education framework on July 1, 2017. In advance of this transition, the Medical Oncology program participated in a pilot of six Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) focused workplace-based assessment (WBA) tools with faculty and residents. The purpose of this sequential explanatory mixed method study was to determine the extent to which these WBAs provided quality feedback for residents.
