This study examined the implementation of CCs at a Canadian institution over a 3-year period, highlighting ongoing challenges faced by CCs despite high support from faculty and resident members, such as adapting to program size, optimizing membership, engaging residents, maintaining capacity among members, sharing and aggregating data, and developing a clear mandate. The findings reinforce the importance of resident engagement and information sharing between disciplines, and suggest future research could explore implementation practices across sites and their impact on decision-making outcomes.
Introduction Competence committees (CCs) are groups of educators tasked with reviewing resident progress throughout their training, making decisions regarding the achievement of Entrustable Professional Activities and recommendations regarding promotion and remediation. CCs have been mandated as part of competency-based medical education programmes worldwide; however, there has yet to be a thorough examination of the implementation challenges they face and how this impacts their functioning and decision-making processes. This study examined CC implementation at a Canadian institution, documenting the shared and unique challenges that CCs faced and overcame over a 3-year period. Methods This study consisted of three phases, which were conceptually and analytically linked using Moran-Ellis and colleagues' notion of 'following a thread.' Phase 1 examined the early perceptions and experiences of 30 key informants using a survey and semi-structured interviews. Phase 2 provided insight into CCs' operations through a survey sent to 35 CC chairs 1-year post-implementation. Phase 3 invited 20 CC members to participate in semi-structured interviews to follow up on initial themes 2 years post-implementation. Detailed observation notes from 16 CC meetings across nine disciplines were used to corroborate the findings from each phase. Results Response rates in each phase were 83% (n = 25), 43% (n = 15) and 60% (n = 12), respectively. Despite the high degree of support for CCs among faculty and resident members, several ongoing challenges were highlighted: adapting to programme size, optimising membership, engaging residents, maintaining capacity among members, sharing and aggregating data and developing a clear mandate. Discussion Findings of this study reinforce the importance of resident engagement and information sharing between disciplines. Challenges faced by CCs are discussed in relation to the existing literature to inform a better understanding of group decision-making processes in medical education. Future research could compare implementation practices across sites and explore which adaptations lead to better or worse decision-making outcomes.
