Social accountability is playing an increasingly significant role in medical education across Canada. This paper presents findings from a mixed methods evaluation of a collaboration project - Issues of Quality and Continuing Professional Development: Maintenance of Competence (CPDiQ) - undertaken by all 17 Canadian medical schools to promote social accountability in continuing professional development/continuing medical education programs. Data were gathered at three stages during the project to explore project participants' views and experiences of collaboration. Findings indicated there were four main benefits of this national collaboration: promoting a focus on social accountability; maximizing resources; enabling local learning; and developing a trusting foundation. Two key difficulties were identified: uncertainties about goals of collaboration; and communication challenges. CPDiQ was one important step amongst the many sustained, multifaceted initiatives required, to advance social accountability as a key goal of medical schools. The leadership within CPDiQ and provided by a national medical organization was instrumental in this initiative.
社会问责制在加拿大各地的医学教育中发挥着越来越重要的作用。本文介绍了一个合作项目——质量与持续专业发展问题：能力维持（CPDiQ）——的混合方法评估结果，该项目由加拿大所有17所医学院开展，旨在促进继续专业发展/继续医学教育项目中的社会问责制。在项目的三个阶段收集了数据，以探索项目参与者对合作的看法和经历。研究结果表明，这种全国性合作有四个主要好处：促进对社会问责制的关注；最大限度地利用资源；促进地方学习；以及建立信任基础。确定了两个关键困难：合作目标的不确定性；以及沟通挑战。CPDiQ是推进社会问责制作为医学院关键目标所需的众多持续、多方面举措中的重要一步。CPDiQ内部以及由一个全国性医学组织提供的领导对这一举措起到了重要作用。
