Design and Implementation of a Competency-Based Transfusion Medicine Training Program in Canada

Transfusion Medicine training in Canada is currently undergoing a transformation from a time- and process-based curriculum to a competency-based medical education (CBME) framework. Transfusion Medicine is the first accredited postgraduate medical education training program in Canada to adopt a purely competency-based curriculum. It is serving as an example for a number of other postgraduate medical training programs undergoing a similar transition. The purpose of this review is to highlight the elements of CBME, describe its application to Transfusion Medicine training and report on the development and implementation of the new Transfusion Medicine curriculum in Canada.
