Knowledge Guides

Knowledge Guides articulate the baseline level of knowledge that trainees need to acquire by the end of their training.

The Knowledge Guides provide detailed guidance to trainees on the important topics and concepts they need to understand in order to pass their assessments and become competent physicians.

The Guides are a basis for knowledge acquisition; they do not outline the range of experience expected of all Basic Trainees.
