Evaluation of both the ACPAC trainee and the program is rigorous. Both program and candidate evaluation will occur using the following array of assessment tools:
- CANMEDS/360 evaluation at end of program
- Theory/Knowledge: Pre and Post Integrated Key Theory, Case-Based Evaluation.
- Practical Skills Evaluation: Pre- and Post-Program Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE)
- Clinical Performance/Competency Appraisals /Clinic logs with record of engagement in defined specialty/subspecialty clinics (160+ hours)
- Self Directed Learning:
- Clinical Case Reports: Trainees will be responsible for the identification of 5 content-defined clinical cases for written appraisal by ACPAC Program Medical Directors (n=5)
- Problem-based Learning: Clinical scenarios/vignettes (n=11)
- Self-Directed Learning: Topic of choice (n=6)
- Model of Care Project (Baseline and End of Program)
- Asynchronous Learning Modules (n=6)
Evaluation
- Outstanding: (>79%)
- Average: (70-79%): *Each ACPAC trainee must achieve at least 70% and/or “meets expectations” for each evaluation component to pass the program
*Remedial Work is required at the discretion of the Program Directors in the event of achievement of less than 70% and/or meets expectations in any component of the program.
