Bariatric fellowship training after general surgery has historically been time based and competence was determined at completion based on a minimum number of cases during the fellowship. Graduate medical education is moving toward competency-based medical education where learners are evaluated during the course of their training and competence assessment occurs throughout.
The Executive Council of the American Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) at the direction of the American Board of Surgery wanted to transition the bariatric surgery fellowship curriculum from its traditional format to a competency-based curriculum using competency-based medical education principles.
The ASMBS Education and Training Committee established a task force of 9 members to create a new curriculum and all of the necessary evaluation tools to support the curriculum, and initiate a pilot program.
A competency-based curriculum consisting of 6 modules with cognitive and technical milestones, and the innovative evaluation tools needed to evaluate the learners, was created. A pilot program consisting of 10 programs and 19 fellows has been undertaken for the 2016-2017 academic year.
The Education Committee of the ASMBS is leading the charge in curriculum development for competency-based medical education for bariatric fellowship.
普通外科之后的减重外科专科培训历来基于时间，能力在培训结束时根据专科培训期间的最低病例数来确定。毕业后医学教育正在向基于能力的医学教育转变，在此过程中，学习者在培训期间接受评估，能力评估贯穿始终。
美国代谢与减重外科学会（ASMBS）执行委员会在美国外科学会的指导下，希望将减重外科专科培训课程从传统形式转变为采用基于能力的医学教育原则的基于能力的课程。
ASMBS教育与培训委员会成立了一个由9名成员组成的特别工作组，以创建新的课程以及支持该课程所需的所有必要评估工具，并启动一个试点项目。
创建了一个基于能力的课程，该课程由6个模块组成，包含认知和技术里程碑，以及评估学习者所需的创新评估工具。在2016 - 2017学年开展了一个由10个项目和19名学员组成的试点项目。
ASMBS教育委员会正在引领减重外科专科基于能力的医学教育课程开发。
