We recently adopted a competency based curriculum based on the CanMEDs model. This shift required the cross-mapping of all key CanMEDs competencies with the competencies for higher education in Saudi Arabia as per the Saudi National Commission for Academic Accreditation & Assessment (NCAAA) guidelines.
To formulate competencies for our curriculum and to create a framework aligned with NCAAA, CanMEDs and Saudi Meds.
After finalization of program outcomes, the program goals were cross-mapped with CanMEDs and Saudi Meds competencies and then the CanMEDs competencies were reverse mapped with our outcomes. Finally benchmarking of outcomes with the programs of the Universities of Manitoba and Toronto was done.
We were able to cross-map and match major outcomes of our program with both the CanMEDs and the Saudi Meds frameworks, ensuring that the outcomes are in line with NCAAA, CanMEDs and Saud Meds. Also, our program objectives were bench marked with two of the Canadian medical schools.
We propose that our framework can be a model for other universities in Saudi Arabia to consider when shifting to a competency based curriculum.
我们最近采用了基于CanMEDs模型的能力本位课程。根据沙特阿拉伯国家学术认证与评估委员会(NCAAA)的指导方针,这一转变要求将所有关键的CanMEDs能力与沙特阿拉伯高等教育的能力进行交叉映射。
为我们的课程制定能力标准,并创建一个与NCAAA、CanMEDs和沙特医学标准相一致的框架。
在确定课程成果后,将课程目标与CanMEDs和沙特医学能力进行交叉映射,然后将CanMEDs能力与我们的成果进行反向映射。最后,将我们的成果与曼尼托巴大学和多伦多大学的课程进行了基准对比。
我们能够将我们课程的主要成果与CanMEDs和沙特医学框架进行交叉映射和匹配,确保这些成果符合NCAAA、CanMEDs和沙特医学标准。此外,我们的课程目标与两所加拿大医学院进行了基准对比。
我们建议,我们的框架可以作为沙特阿拉伯其他大学在转向能力本位课程时考虑的一个模式。
