Module III: Assessment in the Era of Competency Based Medical Education
ACP Faculty Development Program, São Paulo, Brazil
May 18‐19, 2018
Pre‐Conference Summary
As our medical education models move to more competency‐based training models, we must adapt our
modes and tools of assessment. Competency‐based training models focus on application of knowledge,
skills and attitudes that result in outcomes. Assessment in these models focuses on formative
assessment and observation of “real tasks”. Learners and faculty work together to “coach” learners
around “milestones” of development, allowing for variable development over time. Faculty evaluation
of learners focuses on objective, measurable achievements. Through participation in this session,
learners will become familiar with the concepts of competency‐based medical education, including the
concept of milestones. The session will then focus on the importance of evaluation and feedback in
these models and allow participants to identify behaviors that enable more effective assessment and
feedback.
Advantages to competency‐based education models include more transparency around learning goals
and the opportunity for more clear paths and processes to learner development. The concept of
“competency” requires that a learner not only acquire knowledge, skills, and attitudes; it requires one to
apply those abilities in the clinical arena. Milestones are significant points in competency development
and enable the trainee, the faculty member, and the program to know of an individual’s trajectory of
competency acquisition. Milestones are useful in facilitating both evaluation and feedback.
The clinician educator plays a critical role in observing learners in the clinical environment and then
providing feedback on milestone acquisition. Assessment is facilitated by direct, intentional
observation. Growth of the learner is facilitated by effective feedback based on observation.
Characteristics of effective feedback include feedback that is timely, frequent, and specific. Feedback is
most effective if it includes both constructive and reinforcing feedback and when an action plan for
growth is developed with the learner.
The workshop will build on the lecture session and allow participants to practice direct, intentional
observation. The participants will further discuss feedback and practice incorporating specific feedback
characteristics.
