title: [Are some of the challenging aspects of CanMEDS roles valid in a non-Canadian setting? Secondary publication].
abstract: A questionnaire survey among 8749 Danish physicians about how the CanMEDS roles apply in an international context. Response rate 42.8% (3,476). The mean rating of importance of competence was 4.2 (SD 0.6). Ratings of confidence increased from interns to specialists. Differences between specialty groups' evaluation of importance and confidence were evident. This study provides an outline of the validity of the CanMEDS roles in a non-Canadian setting. More research in how these aspects of competence are best taught across countries and specialties is needed.
