Rising to the Challenge: Residency Programs' Experience With Implementing Milestones-Based Assessment.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Changes to assessment efforts following the shift to milestones-based assessment in the ACGME Next Accreditation System have not been fully characterized.

Objective

This study describes themes in initial milestones-based assessment practices with the goal of informing continued implementation and optimization of milestones-based assessment.

Methods

Semistructured interviews were conducted with 15 residency program leaders in 6 specialties at 8 academic medical centers between August and December 2016. We explored what was retained, what was added, and what was changed from pre-milestones assessment efforts. We also examined the perceived impact of the shift to milestones-based assessment on the programs. Thematic analysis began after the first 5 interviews
