ECFMG-ACGME Webinar

ACGME Core Competencies and Milestones

This webinar features Laura Edgar, EdD, CAE, Executive Director for Milestones Development and Medical Genetics at the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). It’s a “must-see” for anyone entering an ACGME-accredited program of graduate medical education (GME) in July 2018 or planning to apply for a residency position through ERAS 2019.

ACGME establishes educational standards and common program requirements for all ACGME-accredited training programs in the United States and has identified six Core Competencies to be used by accredited GME programs to evaluate their residents and fellows:

• Patient Care
• Medical Knowledge
• Practice-based Learning and Improvement
• Interpersonal and Communication Skills
• Professionalism
• Systems-based Practice

In this webinar, you’ll learn about the importance of these six ACGME Core Competencies and the specialty- and subspecialty-specific Milestones that have been developed within each competency area to guide the learning and assessment of physicians in training.
