#Adulting Is Hard: Empowering Learners to Thrive through the Individualized Learning Plan

Register

In 2020, the ACGME stated that an individualized learning plan should be utilized in internal medicine residency programs to assess the Milestones 2.0 competency "Problem-Based Learning and Initiative" (PBLI). The purpose of this workshop is to facilitate discussion regarding best practices for effective utilization of the ILP and skills necessary to assist learners in completing ILPs that are aligned with their clinical and professional goals. Faculty members will be given the opportunity to simulate assisting learners with adjusting their ILPs based on progression through clinical competencies and career-goals. Small group discussions will include sample ILPs that may need to be adjusted according to various scenarios. Through large group discussion, participants will be asked to share their experiences with self-directed educational experiences and potential barriers to implementing a successful ILP. They will be challenged to provide potential solutions to challenges and strategies utilized for faculty to become better coaches facilitating learner growth and success. We hope to use our experience as an example of how to implement the ILP into an internal medicine residency program. We will discuss our experiences introducing the concept to learners as well as challenges faced and shortcomings. We will also discuss methods for promoting faculty development to improve engagement with the process and provide feedback on how to best assist learners with goal setting.
