With the CanMeds questionnaire you map out the competencies of healthcare professionals in a targeted way, to select and develop within healthcare on a well-founded basis.
Based on personality factors, it indicates per competency how easily someone can show or develop it, and also measures actual performance in a role.
The CanMeds approach was originally developed for medical professionals but is now widely applied. By linking personality to competencies, insight arises into strengths and development points for targeted development and task distribution in teams.
This test measures CanMeds competencies, Developability, Role performance, Personality profile. You use it in the HR cycle: (Pre)selection → development → performance → appraisal. Report on the developability of competencies and behaviour in daily practice. Completion takes 20 minutes (Depending on the chosen form: Personality or 360 feedback.) and you receive the results in your inbox, with no PDF to download.
