Abstract
Context: Université de Montréal medical school implemented Competency-based medical education, an important organizational change. Recognizing and reporting progress towards change is critical for success. Yet, informative frameworks that allow educators to track progress aren’t available. We used the Organizational Knowledge Creation Model for such a purpose. Purpose: This paper reports on how we used the Organizational Knowledge Creation Model to recognize change towards Competency-based Medical Education implementation. Method: Because Organizational Knowledge Creation Model focuses on the relationships between individuals and social structures, we selected an embedded case study approach. Diverse case sampling was used to select three academic departments: internal medicine, surgery and psychiatry. Data collection was conducted at two intervals, two years apart. Semi-structured interviews (individual and group) were conducted with Department Heads and Educators. Thematic analysis was conducted on the 15 interview transcripts and coded according to the four Organizational Knowledge Creation Model stages. Results: As implementation begins, selected and trained Educators critically revisit teaching routines and develop common conception of Competency-based medical education. This enables communication with wider audiences and intervene within existing working groups where Competency-based medical education is “broken down” into practical concepts. Educators’ roles evolved from “expert” who disseminates knowledge about Competency-based medical education, to responsive and pragmatic tutors who develop practical tools with peers and program directors. Conclusion: The Organizational Knowledge Creation Model framework provided a deep understanding of ongoing change. Study participants, interviewed twice, described their perception of change as it progressed as well as insights into the underlying dynamics. As medical schools evolve, Organizational Knowledge Creation Model may be a valuable conceptual tool to track progress and describe tangible changes.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
