Feedback and evaluation

We’re evaluating how the new curricula training programs are going - starting with early rollout and continuing into long-term outcomes such as graduate outcomes.

Trainees - have your say

We want to hear from you if you're:

• a first-year Basic Trainee who started in 2025
• a first-year Advanced Trainee who started in 2025, or a continuing Advanced Trainee who started in 2024 in:
• Cardiology (Adult Medicine)
• Paediatric Cardiology
• Gastroenterology (Adult Medicine)
• Gastroenterology (Paediatrics and Child Health)
• Geriatric Medicine
• Nephrology (Adult Medicine)
• Nephrology (Paediatrics and Child Health)
• Rehabilitation Medicine (Adult Medicine)

Your feedback will help us understand how the new curriculum is working in practice.

You can get involved by:

• filling out an anonymous survey (10 to 15 minutes)
• taking part in an online interview (45 to 60 minutes)

Read the Participant Information Sheet to learn more about what’s involved and how your feedback will be used.

Educators - have your say

We’re also seeking feedback from educators supporting trainees in the new curriculum. This includes:

• Directors of Physician or Paediatric Education
• Supervisors of Basic Trainees who started training in 2025
• Supervisors of Advanced Trainees who started in 2025, or continued training from 2024, in the following specialties:
• Cardiology (Adult Medicine)
• Paediatric Cardiology
• Gastroenterology (Adult Medicine)
• Gastroenterology (Paediatrics and Child Health)
• Geriatric Medicine
• Nephrology (Adult Medicine)
• Nephrology (Paediatrics and Child Health)
• Rehabilitation Medicine (Adult Medicine)

Your insights will help us improve support and understand how the curriculum is working day to day.

You can get involved by:

• completing an anonymous survey (about 10 minutes)
• taking part in an online interview (45 to 60 minutes)

Read the participant information sheet to learn more about the process and how we’ll use your feedback.

What we’re aiming for

This is a long-term evaluation. We want to:

1. review how the new curricula are being implemented so we can adjust and improve as needed
2. understand whether the programs are meeting their goals, including graduate outcomes and the adoption of competency-based medical education (CBME) principles

Your feedback will help us:

• identify areas for improvement
• strengthen support for trainees and educators
• highlight what’s working well

See our Educational Research and Evaluation page for more about how we evaluate programs and to read past reports.

Workforce capacity

We understand these changes - and the new technology system - take time and effort.

A recent survey helped us learn what supervisors are experiencing and what support they need. This is guiding our action plan, which includes:

• advocating for protected time for supervision
• providing clearer expectations, shorter resources and quicker support

We’re taking a phased approach to rollout. Here’s what you can expect:

• fewer assessment requirements in 2025 so we can start slowly and learn from experience
• more data to help us understand the time and resources needed
• evidence from the evaluation to support advocacy for supervisor time
• regular updates to directors of physician or paediatric education and heads of department as things progress and before assessments increase in 2026
