Key Points Question Is competency-based assessment associated with changes in rates of identification of and support for residents in difficulty compared with traditional assessment? Findings In this cohort study of 458 Canadian medical residents, there were significant reductions in the proportions of residents receiving flagged assessments on multiple rotations, reductions in proportions of residents defined as being in difficulty, and increases in documented evidence identifying that gaps were discussed with the resident following introduction of a competency-based assessment program. Meaning Competency-based assessment may contribute to better identification of and support for residents in difficulty.
