It has been more than a decade since the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada implemented the Canadian Medical Education Directives for Specialists (CanMEDS) project. Despite frequent and widespread correspondence to Canadian practitioners and educators, the adoption of the 7 core competencies espoused by CanMEDS has been slow. Barriers to the teaching and acquisition of these skills include a lack of understanding of what they actually represent, a paucity of tools to teach them and an inability to quantify performance. It is essential to translate the goals of the CanMEDS project into clinically relevant concepts. We define the current status of the CanMEDS competencies with respect to urological training and provide some context to what has been, until now, a poorly defined and abstract educational construct.
自加拿大皇家内科医师与外科医师学院实施《加拿大专科医生医学教育指令》(CanMEDS)项目以来,已经过去了十多年。尽管与加拿大的从业者和教育工作者进行了频繁且广泛的沟通,但CanMEDS所倡导的7项核心能力的采用情况一直很缓慢。教授和掌握这些技能的障碍包括对其实际含义缺乏理解、教授这些技能的工具匮乏以及无法对表现进行量化。将CanMEDS项目的目标转化为临床相关概念至关重要。我们定义了CanMEDS能力在泌尿外科培训方面的现状,并为迄今为止这个定义模糊且抽象的教育架构提供一些背景信息。
