Strategies identified by program directors to improve adoption of the CanMEDS framework.
Article in Canadian medical education journal, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundChallenges associated with the use of the CanMEDS physician competency framework (CanMEDS) have been the subject of several studies. Most of these have focused on the adoption of specific roles in an Anglophone context. This study aims to investigate how Francophone postgraduate medical education (PGME) program directors have integrated the CanMEDS framework into their programs.
methodsWe invited Francophone PGME program directors to participate in group interviews aimed at exploring their experiences using the CanMEDS framework. We used an open-ended interview guide and realized a thematic analysis of the transcripts.
resultsWe held five group interviews between February and December 2014 with 17 Francophone program directors representing 13 out of a maximum of 62 different specialties/subspecialties. Although program directors endorsed the framework, its integration was seen as challenging, particularly the assessment of non-medical expert roles. To overcome these challenges, they relied on common strategies including a longitudinal approach to the framework, improving inter-program collaboration, and subcontracting the teaching of certain roles.
conclusionWhile integrating the CanMEDS framework into their programs, Francophone program directors struggled with teaching and assessing non-medical expert roles and ensuring their longitudinal integration over time. Directors relied on various strategies, some of which (e.g., subcontracting) may ultimately limit the adoption of the framework as a whole. ___.
