Canadian PA Competency Framework
November 6, 2021 from 12:15pm EDT to 1:15pm EDT
Competency-based education allows for an outcome approach to curriculum delivery that directly addresses and assesses student preparation for clinical practice, patient navigation, and resource application.
PA education programs are focused on preparing a medical generalist that can adapt to any clinical environment, including primary health care, specialty practice, consulting, or hospital-based roles (i.e., Internal Medicine, Surgery, Emergency Medicine, et al.). In these roles, the PA develops specific competencies and knowledge relating to their primary practice area, thus mirroring their physicians' scope of practice. A PA will develop an increased knowledge of a medical or surgical specialty over time and may practice in more than one specialty during their career. However, core knowledge provides a foundation for professional growth.
With the experience and feedback gathered from PA-program leadership, previous accreditation cycles, and practicing PAs, Canadian PA educators are proposing an updated competency framework reflecting competency-based medical education. This presentation and panel will address Questions and provide Answers to the proposed "Canadian Physician Assistant Competency Framework 2021 (Canadian EPA-PA)".
