AB  - BACKGROUND: We recently adopted a competency based curriculum based on the 
      CanMEDs model. This shift required the cross-mapping of all key CanMEDs 
      competencies with the competencies for higher education in Saudi Arabia as per 
      the Saudi National Commission for Academic Accreditation & Assessment (NCAAA) 
      guidelines. OBJECTIVES: To formulate competencies for our curriculum and to 
      create a framework aligned with NCAAA, CanMEDs and Saudi Meds. METHODS: After 
      finalization of program outcomes, the program goals were cross-mapped with 
      CanMEDs and Saudi Meds competencies and then the CanMEDs competencies were 
      reverse mapped with our outcomes. Finally benchmarking of outcomes with the 
      programs of the Universities of Manitoba and Toronto was done. RESULTS: We were 
      able to cross-map and match major outcomes of our program with both the CanMEDs 
      and the Saudi Meds frameworks, ensuring that the outcomes are in line with NCAAA, 
      CanMEDs and Saud Meds. Also, our program objectives were bench marked with two of 
      the Canadian medical schools. CONCLUSION: We propose that our framework can be a 
      model for other universities in Saudi Arabia to consider when shifting to a 
      competency based curriculum.
