ICRE recently spoke with Dr. Linda Probyn, an ICRE 2011 What Works finalist and Radiology program director at the University of Toronto, on the pilot project, “Auditing a CanMEDS tool: Closing the teaching and learning loop”. Dr. Probyn developed the audit with Dr. Karen Finlay from McMaster University.
What was the impetus behind this pilot?
The audit was implemented to assess residents’ understanding of how the CanMEDS Roles were being evaluated in a Radiology OSCE performed in June 2011. The OSCE was intended to evaluate the following roles:
Given the increasingly requirements around incorporating CanMEDS Roles into resident teaching and evaluation, we wanted to see if our residents understood how these roles are integrated into our specialty-specific requirements and how they are subsequently evaluated.

The issue of resident duty hours has garnered interest since, at least, the tragic death of Libby Zion in 1984, an event attributed, in part to the resident fatigue. Duty hours restrictions and regulations have continued to be debated and examined worldwide. Within Canada, the issue reached a new level of urgency when an arbitrator in Quebec ruled in June 2011 that 24-hour shifts pose a danger to residents’ health and, therefore, violate the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Quebec Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The ruling reverberated throughout the country. Continue Reading »

ICRE recently spoke with Dr. Ian Mazzetti, the 2011 What Works winner, on a pilot project that examined real-time versus remote observation within a Feedback OSCE. His report was titled: “Observation of feedback by senior residents: teal-time versus remote observation of feedback encounters”.
What was the impetus behind this pilot?
The Feedback OSCE was first implemented back in 2008, in response to the need to teach residents to be better feedback-givers. Residents spend up to 25% of their time teaching, and an important part of this role is to be able to give effective feedback. Continue Reading »
