WEBCAST ON CD

Sponsored by A Practical Guide to Teaching and Assessing the ACGME Core Competencies

presented on July 17, 2007

The ACGME requires you to assess and document the core competencies. The Joint Commission and ABMS require you to incorporate the competencies into reappointment and maintenance of certification.

Do you, your GME colleagues, faculty, and residents have the right tools for compliance?

Learn from the best practices adopted by residency programs to document these requirements, including hard-to-measure competencies such as practice-based learning and improvement and systems-based practice.

Measuring the Core Competencies: Tools for compliance with ACGME, ABMS and Joint Commission standards will show you exactly what you need to design evaluation forms to document the competencies-efficiently and effectively.

There are several sample evaluation forms available, but most are cumbersome, long, and difficult to navigate, including a lot of information that you simply don't need. During this program, you will learn from industry experts not only what you need to document, but how to document it, in simple and clear steps.

Discover how to bridge the gap between competency-based education and residency competency evaluation, with the essential tools presented in this Webcast:

• Framework for planning curricula
• Method for designing evaluation forms based on measurable objectives
• The Matrix as a curriculum design tool and a means of evaluating patient care
