Will the Triple C curriculum produce better family physicians? No.

YES Better training produces better doctors. That is what the Triple C curriculum is all about—graduating family physicians who are better equipped to deal with the evolving requirements and realities of practice in the coming decades.1 These realities include the following2: • quality and accountability requirements; • interprofessional collaborative practice models; • advances in information technology and management; • effective chronic disease management; • social responsibility and stewardship of resources; and • leadership, teaching, scholarship, and continuous progress regarding competency. We are extremely proud of the graduates of our residency programs. But with practice requirements changing, our programs need to keep up. The Triple C Competency-based Curriculum is designed to do just that. With its focus on comprehensiveness and continuity, it will prepare residents to practise in any Canadian community.
