Critical Care London

Critical Care Western’s Competence Committee (CC) is a subcommittee of the Residency Program Committee (RPC) responsible for curation, collation and review of resident performance. The CC is also responsible for deciding whether trainees are progressing as expected and can graduate from one stage of training to the next. CC decisions are made by group consensus and are based on an in-depth examination of multiple sources of written feedback. These include:

1. Entrustable Professional Activity (EPA) assessments
2. In-training evaluation reports (ITERs)
3. Procedure Logbook
4. Academic half-day attendance (days attended / days available to attend)
5. Charge nurse evaluations for MSICU, CCTC, & CSRU
6. Junior resident evaluations
7. Academic advisor reports
8. Witnessed communication forms
9. MCCKAP & Metrics exam results
10. Internal SAQ test performance
11. Scholarly project reports & feedback
12. Presentation evaluations
13. Other multisource evaluations submitted by the trainee (e.g. letters from families, emails from nurses… etc.)

The Competence Committee meets every two months for resident review. Review findings are then communicated in confidence with each resident and their academic advisor.

To further understand how the Competence Committee works, please review the Competence Committee’s Terms of Reference, and Policies & Procedures.
