Currently, accreditation in medical education is a priority for many countries worldwide. The World Federation for Medical Education’s (WFME) launch of its 1st trilogy of standards in 2003 was a seminal event promoting accreditation in basic medical education (BME) globally. In parallel, the WFME also actively spearheaded a project to recognize accrediting agencies within individual countries. The introduction of competency-based medical education (CBME), with the 2 key concepts of entrusted professional activity and milestones, has enabled researchers to identify the relationships between patient outcomes and medical education. The recent data-driven approach to CBME has been used for ongoing quality improvement of trainees and training programs. The accreditation goal has shifted from the single purpose of quality assurance to balancing quality assurance and quality improvement. Although there are many types of postgraduate medical education (PGME), it may be possible to accredit resident programs on a global scale by adopting the concept of CBME. It will also be possible to achieve accreditation alignment for BME and PGME, which center on competency. This approach may also make it possible to measure accreditation outcomes against patient outcomes. Therefore, evidence of the advantages of costly and labor-consuming accreditation processes will be available soon, and quality improvement will be the driving force of the accreditation process.

医学教育认证的当前趋势。

目前，医学教育认证是全球许多国家的优先事项。世界医学教育联合会 (WFME) 于 2003 年推出的第一部标准三部曲是在全球促进基础医学教育 (BME) 认证的开创性事件。与此同时，WFME 还积极发起了一个项目，以承认个别国家的认证机构。以能力为基础的医学教育 (CBME) 的引入，以及受托专业活动和里程碑这两个关键概念，使研究人员能够确定患者结果与医学教育之间的关系。最近的 CBME 数据驱动方法已被用于持续改进学员和培训计划的质量。认可目标已从单一的质量保证目的转变为平衡质量保证和质量改进。尽管有多种类型的研究生医学教育 (PGME)，但通过采用 CBME 的概念，有可能在全球范围内对住院医师课程进行认证。也有可能实现以能力为中心的 BME 和 PGME 的认证对齐。这种方法还可以根据患者的结果来衡量认证结果。因此，成本高且费力的认可流程的优势很快就会出现，而质量改进将成为认可流程的推动力。通过采用 CBME 的概念，有可能在全球范围内对居民项目进行认证。也有可能实现以能力为中心的 BME 和 PGME 的认证对齐。这种方法还可以根据患者的结果来衡量认证结果。因此，成本高且费力的认可流程的优势很快就会出现，而质量改进将成为认可流程的推动力。通过采用 CBME 的概念，有可能在全球范围内对居民项目进行认证。也有可能实现以能力为中心的 BME 和 PGME 的认证对齐。这种方法还可以根据患者的结果来衡量认证结果。因此，成本高且费力的认可流程的优势很快就会出现，而质量改进将成为认可流程的推动力。
