“…The OCI was removed in part due to the difficulty in establishing reliability across a single assessment. [18][19][20][21] It was deemed unwise to retain an examination with reliability concerns. Furthermore, the feasibility and cost of conducting the OCI had also proved problematic as expanding numbers of trainees required additional independent examiners (candidates passing one out of three OCIs on two occasions have required 12 examiners), additional patients (new to the candidate) and additional costs.…”

The 2012 Fellowship programme is based on the CanMEDs educational framework.

The 2012 Fellowship programme introduced summative entrustable professional activities (EPAs), formative workplace-based assessments (WBAs) and revised external assessments.

Education and professional identity formation are not synonymous. Applying educational evidence alone to assessment design may mean an opportunity for trainees to demonstrate qualities previously assessed at the OCI is lost.
