Physicians are engaged with co-workers, resources, and organizations and are involved with processes and policies. They must also balance work with their personal lives. Physicians must have the ability to set priorities, effectively execute tasks collaboratively with colleagues and make appropriate choices when allocating limited health care resources. Physicians also assume leadership roles in terms of patient safety and quality improvement, the aim of which is to provide the highest quality health care.
The 2015 CanMEDs role revisions were changed by the Royal College from Manager to Leader, reducing the number and broadening the scope of the objectives to include an emphasis on quality assurance and patient safety. In order to be effective and actionable in terms of both personal and professional activities, the MCC has retained the Manager objectives, while adding objectives on quality assurance and patient safety.
