Assessing Geriatric Competencies in Residents: Validating the 5Ms Dimensions.

ABSTRACT: Background Despite undergraduate training in geriatric care, gaps persist throughout residency, highlighting limitations of current assessment methods in evaluating medical expertise across geriatric dimensions. Objective We developed a case-based assessment using the geriatric 5Ms framework (Mind, Mobility, Medications, Multicomplexity, Matters Most), aligned with undergraduate objectives and North American internal medicine milestones. We present feasibility data and preliminary validity evidence of using the geriatric 5Ms framework to evaluate residents' geriatric medical expertise. Methods During a 2023 mandatory academic session at a single site, 68 first- to third-year internal medicine residents were randomly assigned to complete assessment and management plans
