  1. Milestones and Competency-based Medical Education William Iobst, MD VP Academic Affairs ABIM

  2. Competency-Based Medical Education The International CMBE Collaborators 2009 is an outcomes-based approach to the design, implementation, assessment and evaluation of a medical education program using an organizing framework of competencies

  3. ACGME General Competencies • Medical knowledge • Patient care and procedural skills • Professionalism • Interpersonal and communication skills • Practice-based learning and improvement • Systems-based practice

  4. Competency • An observable ability of a health professional, integrating multiple components such as knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes. The International CMBE Collaborators 2009

  5. Competent © 2010 Royal College and The International CBME Collaborators 5 Possessing the required abilities in all domains at a specified stage of medical education or practice Dyscompetent Relatively lacking in one or more domains of required abilities at a specified stage of medical education or practice Incompetent Lacking the required abilities in all domains in a certain context at a defined state of medical education or practice

  6. Traditional Framework • Time-based • Importance of “dwell time” and maturation within training program • Curricular/process-based • X number of months of training, or specific types of activities over defined period of time • Teacher-centered

  7. Carraccio, et al. 2002.

  8. Competency-based evaluation • Fundamental requirements: • You must know the trainee is truly competent to progress to the next stage of their career • Requires clear milestones defining competency • Requires reliable and valid assessment and evaluation

  9. Fully Competent A B C Finish PGY3 Start PGY1 Milestones and Trajectories A’ Lucey and Boote Milestones

  10. World Wide Interest in Reform • Tomorrow’s Doctors (UK) (1993) • The CanMEDS framework • The Outcomes Project • The Scottish Doctor • Good Medical Practice (UK) • the Australian Curriculum Framework for Junior Doctors • 2009 Framework for UGME in the Netherlands

  11. Reality in Training • 2001 – 2011 - The Doldrums of the Outcomes Project • Programs are having trouble moving from structure/process to competency/outcomes • Variable understanding of competencies by faculty • Difficulty assessing and evaluating competency

  12. The ACGME Milestones Initiative • All specialties to develop milestones and recommend assessments to advance CBME. • Define developmental milestones and reliable, valid assessment tools for all training programs by 2012!

  13. Milestones • By definition a milestone is a significant point in development. • Milestones should enable the trainee and program to know an individuals trajectory of competency acquisition. • Milestones should allow for the demonstration of competence in those activities that define the profession. • Assessment and evaluation using milestones must resonate with faculty.

  14. Value of Milestones Guide curriculum development and suggest assessment and evaluation strategies Guide resident self-assessment Allow competence-based promotion Assist remediation by highlighting specific deficits Achieve standardization in evaluation Drive GME reform Improve public accountability

  15. The IM Milestones • Organized by competency and competency sub-divisions • Framed in behavioral terms (Competence is observed in practice!) that define knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviors • Linked with potential assessment tools

  16. Patient Care RRC sub-bullet

  17. Milestones Criticisms • Milestones are reductionistic • Checking off a milestones list does not equal competent practice in a highly complex health care environment • There are 142 internal medicine milestones Programs can not assess them all • Even over three years!

  18. Milestones Benefits • Provide the learner with a clear blue print of progression. There are no surprises. • Allow for rich formative feedback. Learners know where they are and where they need to go. • Define specific behaviors that can focus assessment.

  19. Milestone Challenges Insure that assessment and evaluation of milestones demonstrate competence in those activities that define the profession. More than just a check list! Must resonate with learners, clinician educators, and the public. One implementation strategy involves building assessment and evaluation around activities learners are “entrusted” to do.
