THE LOIS MARGARET NORA ENDOWED LECTURE: The Competency-Based Medical Education Framework: Its Potential For Application in Lifelong Learning

As medical training programs and the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) Member Boards explore and embrace Competency-Based Medical Education (CBME), the opportunity to continue with a CBME framework throughout one’s professional career is appealing, as it promotes a growth mindset and learning opportunities for individuals through focused education and assessment of physicians and medical specialists.

The ABMS Member Boards are working to collaborate with residency programs and consider implications for CBME in continuing certification programs. This session will explore the current work of Member Boards with particular attention to equity in assessment at all stages of a physician’s or medical specialist’s career.

The featured panelists, along with moderator Richard E. Hawkins, MD, ABMS President and Chief Executive Officer, will look at this issue from two perspectives: what they as individuals are experiencing and how they are addressing this in their own interactions as well as from an organizational level.
