#72 - Is This Program Competency-based?

In this episode, Jason is tackling a big question in health education: what does it really mean for a program to be "competency-based"? With competency-based education (CBE) becoming a global standard in health professions, the episode breaks down what makes a program truly CBE, from focusing on outcomes and skill progression to using tailored learning experiences and programmatic assessments.
