Educator Competency Framework by Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists The ANZCA Educator Competency Framework was developed after an analysis of educator roles and responsibilities in specialty training, a review and thematic analysis of published competency domains and frameworks, a survey of educators, expert group discussion, and feedback from stakeholders. Its broad design covers all the competencies required of educators for specialty training, from the basic competencies expected of all clinical specialists to the more advanced competencies required of oversight education committee members. It is designed to be used by any institution involved in medical specialty training to map the competencies required of different educator roles.
