Faculty Development Strategies to Optimize Milestone 2.0 Assessments
The transformation to competency based medical education and the recent adoption of Milestones 2.0 requires that faculty receive training in determining where residents lie on the trajectory from novice to competent clinician. Faculty must observe residents, reliably determine their skill level, and then accurately document their assessments. Focusing on the milestones can minimize faculty rater errors, eliminate grade inflation, and provide clinical competency committees with valuable information to measure resident performance. For faculty, building skills in assessment and documentation when they are busy or geographically dispersed can be challenging.
In this workshop we will describe three easily implemented faculty development strategies to optimize assessment and documentation skills: : a brief targeted audio slide show teaches faculty to use milestones for resident assessment resulting in reliable data via an asynchronous method that reaches large numbers of geographically dispersed faculty when convenient for them;utilization of a pocket size feedback card provides structure for collaborative formative weekly feedback based on resident specific educational goals; and a schematic for effective evaluation completion
