Abstract
Background: Saudi Commission for Health Specialties (SCFHS) has adopted CanMEDS competency framework for developing curriculum for postgraduate training programmes. Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to share the process of developing postgraduate curricula under SCFHS's patronage and to identify potential barriers to implement newly developed curricula and suggest strategies to overcome the barriers. Methods: The process of consensus building started with one-one interview with key stakeholders, review of literature, and comparison of various curricular models. A prototype curriculum was developed with inputs from international advisors. The proposal for the curriculum development and outcomes was reviewed amongst SCHS education committee members and approved. Two medical education experts have been involved in coordinating the process of curriculum development. Results: Over the last two years, SCFHS has been working with several residency and fellowship programmes to develop formal curricula. The goal is to complete formal curriculum for all residency and fellowship programmes using CanMEDS competency frameworks.
