Abstract
Background: Global Health opportunities are popular, with many reported benefits. There is a need however, to identify and situate Global Health competencies within postgraduate medical education. We sought to identify and map Global Health competencies to the current CanMEDS physician competency framework to assess the degree of equivalency and uniqueness between them.
Methods: JBI scoping review methodology was utilized to identify relevant papers searching MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science. Studies were reviewed independently by two of three researchers according to pre-determined eligibility criteria. Included studies identified competencies in Global Health training at the postgraduate medicine level, which were then mapped to the CanMEDS framework.
Results: A total of 19 articles met criteria for inclusion (17 from literature search and 2 from manual reference review). We identified 36 Global Health competencies; the majority (23) aligned with CanMEDS competencies within the framework. Ten were mapped to CanMEDS roles but lacked specific key or enabling competencies, while three did not fit within the specific CanMEDS roles.
Conclusions: We mapped the identified Global Health competencies, finding broad coverage of required CanMEDS competencies. We identified additional competencies for CanMEDS committee consideration and discuss the benefits of their inclusion in future physician competency frameworks.
Résumé
Contexte: Les opportunités de santé mondiale sont populaires, avec de nombreux avantages rapportés. Il est toutefois nécessaire d’identifier et de situer les compétences en santé mondiale dans la formation médicale postdoctorale. Nous avons cherché à identifier et à mapper les compétences en santé mondiale au cadre le référentiel CanMEDS d’évaluer le degré d’équivalence et d’unicité entre elles.
Méthodologie : La méthodologie de revue exploratoire de JBI a été utilisée pour identifier les articles pertinents qui recherchent MEDLINE, Embase et Web of Science. Les études ont été examinées indépendamment par deux des trois chercheurs selon des critères d’admissibilité prédéterminés. Les études incluses ont permis d’identifier les compétences dans la formation en santé mondiale au niveau de la médecine postdoctorale, qui ont ensuite été mises en correspondance avec le cadre le référentiel CanMEDS.
Résultats : Au total, 19 articles répondaient aux critères d’inclusion (17 provenant d’une recherche documentaire et 2 d’un examen manuel des références). Nous avons identifié 36 compétences en santé mondiale; la majorité (23) correspondait aux compétences CanMEDS dans le cadre. Dix d’entre eux ont été mappés à des rôles canMEDS, mais n’avaient pas de compétences clés ou habilitantes précises, tandis que trois ne correspondaient pas aux rôles spécifiques de CanMEDS.
Conclusions : Nous avons cartographié les compétences en santé mondiale identifiées, en trouvant une large couverture des compétences CanMEDS requises. Nous avons identifié d’autres compétences à examiner par le comité CanMEDS et nous discutons des avantages de leur inclusion dans les futurs cadres de compétences des médecins.
