CV Fellowship Director Training: Assessment vs. Evaluation-Video 3: Competency-Based Education

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Sanjeev Francis discusses the concept of competency-based education in the context of fellowship programs. He explains that in a traditional education system, progression is based on time and is teacher-centered, whereas in a competency-based system, progression is based on mastery of skills and is learner-centered. He emphasizes the importance of this shift in training programs, as it ensures that fellows have the necessary skills and knowledge to become competent cardiologists. Francis also offers some strategies for incorporating a competency-based curriculum, such as starting with overhauling a rotation and using standardized curricula and assessments. He acknowledges the challenges and opportunities involved in implementing this shift and highlights the need for faculty development and collaboration.
