ACGME Competencies Should Be Required of Our Residencies, Not Just Our Residents

摘要

Patient Care, Medical Knowledge, Professionalism, Systems-Based Practice, Evidence-Based Practice, Practice-Based Learning and Improvement, Interpersonal and Communication Skills. Since 1999, every faculty member and resident has known that these are the desired competencies of our graduates and the standard to which our residents will be held. Similarly, these competencies, or small variations of them, have also become the basis for changes in undergraduate medical education. Competency-based education is now the norm for nearly all efforts at curricular reform.
