Published purpose

SimTec MD is undertaking a project to tackle the challenges faced by medical institutions in implementing competency-based medical education (CBME) through entrusted professional activities (EPA) frameworks. These challenges involve providing sufficient practice opportunities for students and effectively monitoring their progress. This pioneering effort in Canada aims to enhance clinical skills, boost learner confidence, streamline competence validation, provide administrative oversight, and potentially address the doctor shortage crisis. The project timeline spans 18 months, including the development and refinement of clinical scenarios for each EPA.
