Welcome
Both the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada and the ACGME in the USA have recommended that all post-graduate training programs in medicine become competency based in the near future. Our day-long workshop on how to develop and implement a competency-based training curriculum in residency training programs hopes to assist program directors, chairs, and educators involved in this initiative in preparing for these changes. The past four workshops have garnered positive feedback from participants. This year, we continue to expand the workshop to include interactive breakout sessions with expert faculty implementing CBME in various specialties.
Target Audience
Chairs, Program Directors and Administrators, and Educators of residency training programs
Educators involved with designing and implementing residency level curricula

Faculty Disclosure
It is the policy of University of Toronto, Faculty of Medicine, Continuing Professional Development to ensure balance, independence, objectivity, and scientific rigor in all its individually accredited or jointly accredited educational programs. Speakers and/or planning committee members, participating in University of Toronto accredited programs, are expected to disclose to the program audience any real or apparent conflict(s) of interest that may have a direct bearing on the subject matter of the continuing education program. This pertains to relationships within the last FIVE (5) years with pharmaceutical companies, biomedical device manufacturers, or other corporations whose products or services are related to the subject matter of the presentation topic. The intent of this policy is not to prevent a speaker with a potential conflict of interest from making a presentation. It is merely intended that any potential conflict should be identified openly so that the listeners may form their own judgments about the presentation with the full disclosure of facts. It remains for the audience to determine whether the speaker's outside interests may reflect a possible bias in either the exposition or the conclusions presented.
