description Background With the introduction of Competency-Based Medical Education (CBME), the Canadian Pediatric Anesthesia Society (CPAS) surveyed its members to assess their awareness of and prior experience with CBME concepts and evaluation tools, and identify methods for faculty development of CBME teaching strategies for pediatric anesthesia residents and fellows. Methods An online survey was sent to CPAS members. Outcomes included respondents’ previous exposure to CBME and the educational support they had received in anticipation of the curriculum. Questions used multi-item Likert scales and a general feedback question.  Results The response rate was 39% (60/155). Eighty-eight percent of respondents spent ≥50% of their time practicing pediatric anesthesia; 78% and 45% spent at least a quarter of their time teaching residents and fellows respectively. Eighty-three percent were familiar with CBME concepts, and 58% were familiar with Milestones, Competencies, and Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs). However, 64% had not received any formal training and 52% had not used any CBME evaluation tools. Learning preferences included small group discussions (72%), lectures with questions and answers (Q&A) (62%), seminars (50%), and workshops (50%). Conclusions Despite widespread awareness of CBME concepts, there is a need to educate Canadian pediatric anesthesiologists regarding CBME evaluation tools. Faculty development support will increase the utilization of these tools in teaching practice.
