DocTalks: CBME and Competence By Design with Dr. Valerie Mueller

Dr. Valerie Mueller joins DocTalks to continue our mini-series on Competency Based Medical Education (CBME) as TMU welcomes its first cohort of residents. Dr. Mueller speaks about managing the transition to CBME, and the way in which its formal assessment and documentation processes allow for greater accountability, and earlier intervention and delivery of enhanced education plans. This episode also unpacks how CBME fits into the broader picture of residency evaluation, including some approaches to goal-setting with residents around Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs).

She completed her medical training at McMaster University followed by residency training in Obstetrics & Gynecology and subspecialty training in Maternal Fetal Medicine.
