What is Triple C?

Triple C is a competency-based curriculum that is:
• Comprehensive
• Focused on continuity of education and patient care
• Centred in family medicine

Why Triple C?

The goal is to ensure that all family medicine residents achieve a high level of competence to enter active practice. This renewed curriculum enhances what is taught, how it is taught, and how learners are assessed. The Triple C Competency-based Curriculum ensures all graduates are:
a. Competent to provide comprehensive care in any Canadian community
b. Prepared for the evolving needs of society
c. Educated based upon the best available evidence on patient care and medical education
This curriculum addresses accountability, social responsibility, patient safety, and efficiencies in educational programming. It highlights the College’s vision of graduating sufficient numbers of Canadian family physicians who can provide comprehensive, continuing care within traditional family practices and within newer models of interprofessional practice.

Rollout

The Working Group on Certification Process (WGCP)  continues to actively recommend ways in which we can confidently assess family medicine competencies. Embedded within the Triple C, the work of the WGCP will be critical to this competency based curriculum.

To support the implementation of Triple C, a national taskforce has been struck. The Triple C Task Force  will report to the Section of Teachers Council.

More information on Triple C will be released in the upcoming year so that we can widely share the opportunities this curriculum presents for the College.

Triple C will ensure that all of our Canadian family physicians graduate with a strong mix of competencies enabling them to practice family medicine in any Canadian community or context.

It is our time to stand proud and share our new and advanced curriculum that strives to meet the current and evolving needs of all Canadians.

Triple C is here!

The WGCR has published the Triple C Competency-based Curriculum report highlighting how family medicine education will be provided in Canada. In preparation for this report it is important that you read the background materials that have led up to the development of Triple C, posted on this site. The reports include CanMEDS-Family Medicine and the Evaluation Objectives.
