Learn to accurately assess and document the ACGME’s six core competencies

Listen to HCPro's presentation of Linking Outcomes and Improvement to the ACGME Core Competencies: Documentation for Phase III. During this 90-minute audioconference, our experts outlined best practices for assessment and documentation of the ACGME’s six core competency requirements, providing you with essential information on how to implement this phase of the ACGME’s Outcome Project.
