The application of milestone evaluation system based on ACGME core competencies in training residents in department of rheumatology and immunology
Objective To explore the application effect of the milestone evaluation system based on ACGME core competencies in the standardized training of residents in the department of rheumatology and immunology.Methods A modified Milestone Evaluation Scale was developed for the department of rheumatology and immunology.Self evaluation and mentor evaluation were conducted on 150 residents who received standardized training in grades 1-3 before May 2023.The results were collected and statistically analyzed.One-way analysis of variance and t-test were performed using SPSS 27.0.Results The self-evaluation and mentor evaluation scores of all residents increased with the training years.Self-evaluation scores were significantly higher than mentor evaluation scores(P<0.05)for the medical knowledge(t=2.95,P=0.006),diagnosis and treatment ability(t=2.57,P=0.015),and learning ability(t=2.67,P=0.015)of grade 2 residents and the learning ability(t=2.87,P=0.007)of grade 3 residents.There were no significant differences in the baseline score and ability improvement of residents from different institutions(P>0.05).Conclusions The milestone evaluation system is an effective tool for training,assessing,and providing feedback to residents in rheumatology and immunology,and provides essential feedback to resident training bases regarding the training effectiveness.The method is worth promoting.
