Although Elentra allows individual programs to upload specific Key and Enabling Competencies, organizations are still required to upload a standard list of Key and Enabling Competencies at the organization level. For Canadian schools using CBME, we recommend making the CanMEDS Key and Enabling Competencies your standard list. The CanMEDS documents are available online.
If you see a warning like the below, it means your organization still needs to upload key and enabling competencies through Manage Curriculum.
To download the required templates, complete them, and upload standard Key and Enabling Competencies information:
Navigate to Admin > Manage Curriculum.
Click 'Curriculum Tags' from the Manage Curriculum card on the left sidebar.
Click on a curriculum tag set name (e.g. CanMEDS Key Competencies) and then click 'Import from CSV' in the top right to access and download the template to complete.
After you complete each required template, save it in a .csv format and upload it to the corresponding tag set page.
You can access the CanMEDS Key and Enabling Competencies at http://canmeds.royalcollege.ca/guide. The Key Competencies are preceded by one number like 1 or 2, and are stored under CanMEDS roles. The Enabling Competencies are preceded by a number like 1.1 or 2.2 and are also stored under CanMEDS roles.
Sample Key Competency: 1 Practise medicine within their defined scope of practice and expertise
Sample Enabling Competency: 1.1 Demonstrate a commitment to high-quality care of their patients
Both of these are from the Medical Expert role so would be coded with the prefix ME. Alphanumeric codes are provided in the templates, and you will need to input the key and enabling competency text. Note that you can export the text from the CanMEDS guide.
Download the template through Manage Curriculum > Curriculum Tags > CanMEDS Key Competencies.
Note that the first column, objective_code, is completed for you with alphanumeric codes based on the CanMEDS roles.
Complete the second column, objective_name, by providing the key competency text. You can access the key competencies at http://canmeds.royalcollege.ca/guide or request them from another institution.
Save your file as a CSV.
