Join the ACGME in Chicago for the in-person Developing Faculty Competencies in Assessment course. This course focuses on one of the major challenges for outcomes-based graduate medical education (GME): designing assessment programs that facilitate the longitudinal professional development of residents and fellows.
The course is intended for residency and fellowship program directors, associate program directors, chairs and members of Clinical Competency Committees (CCCs), designated institutional officials, and faculty members with major responsibility for the assessment of residents/fellows.
The course features interactive workshops that include theory bursts on essential assessment content, as well as small-group application exercises. Participants also practice direct observation and feedback skills in a simulation center. The course is intended to help participants develop the foundations of assessment and learn to build effective assessment programs.
The course is led by expert facilitators. Educational materials will be provided through the ACGME’s online learning portal, Learn at ACGME, where they will remain accessible to participants after completion of the course. Note: a free account is required to access this content in Learn at ACGME.
At the end of the course, participants will be able to:
Faculty Development Hub courses are presented by leading GME institutions that have collaborated with the ACGME to develop a curriculum focusing on building assessment skills of individual faculty members or others at the front lines of resident and fellow education. These highly interactive courses are taught by expert faculty members, including individuals who previously attended the ACGME's Developing Faculty Competencies in Assessment course in Chicago. Many of these courses transitioned to a virtual format during the COVID-19 pandemic; some continue to be offered virtually, while others have returned to an in-person format and yet others use a hybrid format.
