Competency-based advancement in medical education: outcomes of the Education in Pediatrics Across the Continuum (EPAC) project
The outcomes of the EPAC project demonstrated the ability to make competency-based readiness-to-transition decisions for individual learners and is the first CBME program to span the UME/GME medical education continuum in the US. Lessons learned from the EPAC project have the potential to contribute to advancement efforts for CBME.
