Objective: The shift to competency-based medical education (CBME) is associated with changes in the way residents are taught and assessed. Although there are many purported benefits of CBME, an understanding of the preparedness of faculty to meet the needs of this new paradigm is lacking. The aim of this study was to characterize faculty needs to support the transition to CBME.
Methods: An online survey was designed with the aim of characterizing faculty understanding of the principles of CBME and common trainee assessment methods, as well as exploring barriers to the implementation of CBME in obstetrics and gynaecology residency programs across Canada. The survey was sent to faculty across Canada in English and French.
Results: A total of 284 responses were collected between September 2015 and December 2016. Although most faculty viewed CBME as a positive change, there were gaps in their knowledge about CBME and workplace-based assessment methods. Barriers to the implementation of CBME included lack of training in assessment of residents and feedback, financial implications, and time constraints.
Conclusion: To facilitate the transition to CBME, institutions may need to consider establishing faculty training programs and implementing systemic change aimed at addressing faculty needs and barriers during this fundamental shift in the structure of residency training.

Entrustable professional activities are a competency-based evaluation framework which was deployed by the American Board of Surgery in 2023 to evaluate general surgical residents and provide a path to independent practice. Entrustable professional activity microassessments are based on 18 conditions which are core to being a practicing general surgeon, and most include multiple phases of care, such as preoperative care, intraoperative care, and postoperative care. These evaluations are an amalgam of all the clinical competencies, including medical knowledge and patient care skills.

Background: Interviewers' judgements play a critical role in competency-based assessments for selection such as the multiple-mini-interview (MMI). Much of the published research focuses on the psychometrics of selection and the impact of rater subjectivity. Within the context of selecting for entry into specialty postgraduate training, we used an interpretivist and socio-constructivist approach to explore how and why interviewers make judgments in high stakes selection settings whilst taking part in an MMI.
