Key result
Competency by design improves cardiology resident feedback but increases administrative burden and stress.
Why the study?
The transition to competency by design (CBD) in adult cardiology residency programs introduced new assessment demands and roles, impacting resident wellness and training dynamics.
The transition to competency-based cardiology training has improved learning organization and feedback but significantly increased administrative burden and resident stress.
CBD transition boosts feedback and flexibility in cardiology training; leaves open strategies to ease administrative burden without eroding gains.
Adult cardiology residency programs across the country made the formal transition to competency by design (CBD) in July 2021. This transition has led to an increase in formal assessments for residents and new roles and responsibilities for faculty and administrative staff. CBD has brought successes including more organized learning, flexibility in rotations, along with increased direct observation and feedback. The associated administrative burden is cumbersome and has contributed to increased stress, anxiety, and a negative impact on health and wellness for residents.

Whitney Faiella (2024) studied Cardiology residency training. Competency by design (CBD) was evaluated. The transition to competency by design in adult cardiology residency programs improved organized learning and feedback but increased administrative burden and resident stress.
