The study aims to evaluate the Longitudinal CanMEDS Curriculum (LCC) by assessing its effectiveness and educational value for residents. It uses the Appreciative Inquiry (AI) approach, focusing on strengths and opportunities for improvement, with a four-phase process: discovery, dream, design, and destiny. The objective is to understand residents’ and facilitators’ perceptions of the LCC’s educational value, identifying beneficial aspects, areas for improvement, and any barriers to successful implementation.
Learning Objectives:
1. Gain Insight from residents and staff into the implementation of LCC
2. Raise awareness regarding the upcoming survey
3. Facilitate discussion on the study objectives and methodology
