Competency-Based Medical Education: Developing a Framework for Obstetrics and Gynaecology.
The development of a Canadian competency-based medical education (CBME) curriculum in obstetrics and gynaecology, slated to begin in 2017, must be rooted in, and aligned with, the principles of CanMEDS 2015 and Competence by Design.
