Assessing the ACGME Competencies in Psychiatry Training Programs
Abstract
The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) changed the landscape for medical schools when it defined and mandated the assessment of residents in six competency areas. Although a shift in educational perspective had been in progress for some time, the ACGMEs decision disturbed the status quo tolerably and facilitated the reexamination of current education practices. It has now become necessary for graduate programs to reexamine their approaches to teaching, learning and assessment. The Residency Review Committee requirements for general psychiatry training in which each program is required to demonstrate that it has "an effective plan for assessing resident performance throughout the program and for using assessment results to improve resident performance" is the focus of contemporary dialogue. An effective approach has been developed by the American Association of Medical Colleges (AAMC) Group on Educational Affairs, which sponsored "Conquering the Competencies Challengesthe SOAP Approach" as part of a larger project, entitled CACHE: Competencies Across the Continuum of Health Education. It provides self-guided modules designed to enhance residency program directors abilities to address and assess effectively and efficiently the six core ACGME competencies. It is available from the AAMC at http://www.aamc.org/members/gea/cubesoapstart.htm together with a workbook guide at http://www.aamc.org/members/gea/cubeworkbook.pdf. "Assessing
