Populate CanMEDS Competencies
Although there is the ability to upload program specific key and enabling competencies in Elentra ME 1.12, 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 as your standard list. These are available online or from another institution.
To download Elentra templates, complete them, and upload key and enabling competencies information, navigate to Admin>Manage Curriculum>Curriculum Tags.
Click on a curriculum tag set name 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 from the same screen you were on.
Accessing CanMEDS Key and Enabling Competencies
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, you will need to input the key and enabling competency text.
You can export the text from the CanMEDS guide.
