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 Post Program OSCE
- Clinical Performance/Competency Appraisals /Clinic logs with record of engagement in defined specialty/subspecialty clinics
- Self Directed Learning:
- 5 clinical case reports: Trainees will be responsible for the identification of 5 content-defined clinical cases for written appraisal by ACPAC Program Medical Directors (Dr. Amanda Steiman, Dr. Christian Veillette)
- Problem-based Learning: Clinical scenarios/vignettes (n=11)
- Topic of choice (n=6)
- Model of Care Project (Baseline and End of Program)
*Note: It is suggested all above Self-Directed Learning Activities and Clinic Logs be compiled in an electronic “Professional Portfolio’ for mid-term and final review by Program Directors.
