UBC Family Practice Postgraduate Program’s Resident Assessment System is designed based on frameworks provided by CFPC’s Continuous Reflective Assessment for Training (CRAFT)
We embrace structures and processes that:
- Respects that each resident comes with individual strengths and areas for growth
- Addresses the short length of training with an assessment strategy that both meets program expectations and is bespoke to the individual
- Has a focus on metacognitive skills (eg. Self-awareness, self-regulation, guided self-reflection) as part of professional development
- Is founded on the principles of programmatic assessment such that we look at the whole picture across the resident’s training, using multiple low-stakes collaborative assessment points to inform decisions on progress and advancement.
- Prioritizes transparency and collaboration in both gathering of assessment information and in making decisions on progress.
We believe that this way of assessing performance best serves the developing professional family physician through deliberate practice, during residency, of skills that remain useful for life-long learning.

Expectations and Benchmarks
The UBC Family Practice Residency Program – Program Benchmarks (“Benchmarks”) are designed primarily for use with the program and site-level competency committees to provide a reference trajectory for resident development and assessment benchmarks.
We recognize resident growth and development are individualized and contextualized to the rotations available at each site, and the opportunities made available. Use of these benchmarks should therefore consider the contexts in which the resident was exposed to, and whether they can be expected to perform at these levels, rather than as a checklist.
Preceptors can also use these benchmarks to inform assessment narratives and to plan clinical opportunities for resident learners based on their stage of training.
