CBME Task Force

Dalhousie Medical School struck a task force in 2015 to prepare for the major task of shifting more than 50 specialty residency training programs to the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada’s CBME framework, known as Competence By Design (CBD). The task force meets regularly to review the overall progress of programs, with a focus on those in line to transition to CBD in the next two years.
