dc.description.abstractAbstract Background Competency-based medical education (CBME) is increasingly employed by postgraduate training programs worldwide, including obstetrics and gynaecology. Focusing on assessment of outcomes rather than time-in-training, and utilising a well-defined curricular framework, CBME aims to train doctors capable of meeting the needs of modern society. When this study was undertaken, in 2019, the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RANZCOG) had a time-based curriculum and was due to undergo a curriculum review starting in 2020. Aims To explore Victorian RANZCOG Integrated Training Program (ITP) coordinators’ understanding of the concept of competency and how it is taught and assessed within RANZCOG training. Materials and Methods A qualitative, grounded theory design using semi-structured interviews was employed. Victorian RANZCOG ITP coordinators from inner and outer metropolitan, and regional sites, were approached to participate. Transcripts were coded and analysed using thematic analysis. Results Themes identified were: Competence, Vision and Innovation, Structures, ITP Coordinator Role and Teaching and Learning. Competence was defined as a combination of independent practice and understanding of ones’ own limits, in addition to required clinical skills and knowledge. Enablers and barriers to achieving competency were identified and associated with structures, human and logistical factors. Victorian ITP coordinators believed the current training program has positive elements but could be further improved. Conclusions Several areas for future research were identified regarding understanding of competency, relevant if RANZCOG is to introduce a CBME framework. Replicating this research across all RANZCOG jurisdictions in Australia and New Zealand would be prudent to determine if the themes are universal.en_US
