A look into the future: ACGME release internal medicine milestones
As I reported from the ACGME conference back in March, the accrediting agency is working with the American Board of Internal Medicine to develop specific behavioral milestones for each competency.
The ACGME and ABIM have posted a draft milestone framework for comment by program directors, faculty, residents, coordinators, and other interested parties.
The expectation is that residency programs will integrate the defined milestones into their curriculum and measure and evaluate residents performance against the standards.
Even if you’re not involved in internal medicine, take a look at this framework. The ACGME is developing milestones first in internal medicine, surgery, and pediatrics. I assume the goal is to eventually have milestones for all specialities, and what happens now will inform those future projects.
What do you think of the milestones framework? Leave a comment in the box below.
Look for more coverage of the Milestone Project on Residency Manager Blog and in Residency Program Alert.
