Liaison and Engagement Consultant Progress Report Dr. Sarita Verma November 16, 2010 Presentation to the FMEC PG Steering Committee
Status of Consultations (Nov 5/2010) * Deans, PG Deans, UG Deans, Program Directors, Education Councils, etc. FMEC Postgraduate Project 2 Liaison and Engagement
Status of Consultations (cont’d) Completed/Pending FMEC Postgraduate Project 3 Liaison and Engagement
1. Strengths • University-based • National accreditation standards and Peer review process • Common standards for certification exams • Clinical exposure (quantity and variety) • CanMEDS framework • Canadian brand and quality of product FMEC Postgraduate Project 4 Liaison and Engagement
2. Weaknesses/Vulnerabilities • Early streaming into a specialty and lack of flexibility to change course • Major disconnect between who we ‘admit’ what they choose to specialize in, the availability of jobs and the societal needs • Too much focus on input and none on output • Accreditation standards become redundant and long time between site surveys • Inability to effective teach and evaluate the non medical expert CanMEDS roles e.g., Lack of training in inter-professional care • Residents are not prepared/ comfortable/ willing to leave training/ tertiary centre • Inadequate and inconsistent funding for University PGME, hospitals and clinical teachers • Shortage of clinical faculty and supervisors • Inadequate faculty development FMEC Postgraduate Project 5 Liaison and Engagement
3. Risks • Reduced work week (e.g., from 70 to 40-50 hours) will require fundamental change in structure of residency- union mentality supersedes learning • New technologies and emerging other health care professionals will take over the MD market share (not enough integration of IPE IPC) • Disconnect between health human resource planning and capacity for PG specialties and there is no national “stock and flow” model • If we cannot produce the HHR output, the control will be lost and we will be micromanaged • Loss of the public trust in MDs • Inability to be nimble - update/innovate teaching methods (e.g., simulation, distance education, technology) FMEC Postgraduate Project 6 Liaison and Engagement
4. Opportunities • Harmonize the role of Resident as employee, Regulated HCP and Student. • Reduce bureaucracy at the institutional levels- more self evaluation and professional accreditors • Introduce new models of training that address the hidden curriculum, IPE, simulation and reinforce generalism • Have evaluation throughout residency count rather than one high-stakes exam • Conduct HHR planning at national level across all healthcare professionals for the right balance of generalists, specialists, sub specialists, fellows and research scientists • Make better use of potential resources (e.g., IMGs, DME sites, IPE opportunities, programs for underserviced areas) • Pan-Canadian sharing of training resources – reduce interprovincial barriers to practice and training.

5. “Blue Sky” Ideas • Base PG as UG entirely at universities with full funding • Have a small number of key paths that complete UG and PG direct into practice without the ‘match’ • Issue restricted licence after 2 years and make practice a requirement for subsequent PG training • Redesign to introduce flexibility in training path and reduce the number of PGY 1 entry programs such as eliminate 4th year of UG and bring back the rotating internship • Mandate community based practice and learning social determinants of health in all Residency programs • Reduce the number of colleges to one with one integrated mandate to over see the Universities programs • Graduated entry to practice: Make practice “Education” FMEC Postgraduate Project 8 Liaison and Engagement
