Feedback and evaluation

What we’re aiming for
This is a long-term evaluation. We want to:
- review how the new curricula are being implemented so we can adjust and improve as needed
- 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 to support supervisors
- 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 and beyond
