Abstract
Capacity building of faculty and postgraduate residents of community medicine to streamline the assessment process in competence driven curriculum: pilot study
Highlights
Competence based medical education has been identified as the right approach to overcome the shortcomings of traditional curriculum (Touchie & ten Cate, 2016)
In order to respond to this observation and streamline the assessment process, the departmental faculty and postgraduates were sensitized about the Competency Driven Curriculum (CDC), Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) and their roles in the implementation of competence driven curriculum
The PG students acknowledged that the developed rubrics acted as an indicator against which they were able to compare their learning progress
Summary
Competence based medical education has been identified as the right approach to overcome the shortcomings of traditional curriculum (Touchie & ten Cate, 2016). Competency Driven Curriculum (CDC) refers to systems of instruction, assessment, grading which depends on the fact that students have acquired the desired knowledge and skills during the education. CDC for the postgraduate course in Community Medicine was initiated in 2016 in our institute. It was an important milestone considering that very few universities have adopted the same in India. It was soon realized that the departmental faculty and postgraduate (PG) students needed guidance for the transition to CDC. The PG students were assessed only by their guides limiting interaction with other department faculty and even the reflective component was not explored
