Exploring residents' perceptions of competency-based medical education across Canada: A national survey study.

As competency-based medical education (CBME) is implemented across Canada, little is known about residents' perceptions of this model. This study examined how Canadian residents understand CBME and their lived experiences with implementation. We administered a survey in 2018 with Likert-type and open-ended questions to 375 residents across Canada, of whom 270 were from traditional programs ("pre-CBME") and 105 were in a CBME program.

The analgesic benefit of Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block in hip arthroscopic surgery: a retrospective pragmatic analysis at an academic health center.

Introduction: The novel pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block has recently been reported to provide effective motor-sparing local anesthetic-based analgesia to the hip joint. We aimed to evaluate the analgesic efficacy and safety of a preoperative PENG block among patients undergoing ambulatory hip arthroscopic surgery where systemic analgesia is the gold standard.

Methods: We conducted a single-center, retrospective pragmatic exploratory cohort study of consecutive outpatient hip arthroscopic surgery cases from January 2017 to March 2019.
