Dr. Wong to present at the Canadian Conference on Medical Education
Dr. Eric Wong, Fred Ross, Postgraduate Program Coordinator, and Charlie Mehagan, Web Developer/ Programmer, will attend the Canadian Conference on Medical Education in Vancouver on April 25-28 to introduce their presentation, Assessment behaviours after implementation of an electronic competency-based assessment tool.
An electronic competency-based assessment tool (eBAT) was implemented by the Department and has actively served our London and Regional residency programs since July 2014. A complete rollout will take place in July 2015.
The eCBAT is an online field note-based assessment tool. Each field note assesses a single activity or patient-encounter. Each resident is required to have one field note or assessment completed per day.
Each field note collects the following data: name of resident, category of competency being assessed, type of assessment (e.g. direct observation, chart review), patient gender, patient age group, encounter description, qualitative feedback for resident, faculty overall impression.
Dr. Wong and Mr. Ross established the concepts and Mr. Mehagan developed the tool allowing residents to electronically complete field notes in the Department's Intranet portal, MyFM.
