In this episode of KeyLIME+, host Adam Szulewski and guest resident co-host Brij Karmur speak with Dr. Mary Ott to explore the complexities around both the theory and the implementation of Competency-Based Medical Education (CBME) in Canada. They discuss the disconnects between the intended and enacted curriculum, the assessment burden on residents, and the need for adaptive responses to improve learner development. The conversation highlights the challenges and opportunities for CBME 2.0. Mary also shares some of the struggles she's experienced getting work published that challenges the status quo.
