Guided Self-Assessment and Action Plans: What Do Residents Need to Succeed?

ABSTRACT: Resident feedback and program evaluation are essential to ACGME-accredited training programs. We sought to integrate these requirements into our program by creating a systematic process for program improvement focusing on personal learning plans (PLPs). Residents completed a PLP tool every 6 months, followed by an evaluation completed with the program director. Among respondents, 96% reported the PLP process provided useful feedback. A majority found the PLP process useful in developing learning strategies and modeling lifelong learning. The integrated PLP/program improvement process serves as an effective strategy for quickly identifying and capitalizing on both individual and program opportunities for improvement.
