Chronicling the Transition to Competency-Based Medical Education in a Small Subspeciality Program.

As medical education programs transition to competency-based medical education (CBME), experiences transitioning in the context of small subspecialty programs remain unknown, yet they are needed for effective implementation and continual improvements. To examine faculty and resident experiences transitioning to CBME in a small subspeciality program. Using a qualitative descriptive approach and constructivist lens, faculty and residents in McMaster University's geriatric psychiatry subspecialty program were interviewed about their transition experiences between November 2021 and February 2022, after the program's soft launch of CBME in 2020.
