Yale is collaborating with ACGME to co-sponsor a regional faculty development course for academic faculty. This 4-part course is a condensed version of the popular week-long ACGME course concentrated on assessment skills. This highly interactive course will cover learner assessment skills (such as direct observation and feedback) as well as tools and strategies to help programs best meet their programmatic requirements (clinical competency committee input, multisource evaluations). The target audience includes program directors, associate program directors, fellowship directors, chairs, heads of clinical competency committees and other core faculty with major responsibility for assessment of residents and fellows.

The first two sessions (Sept 11 and 18) are conducted virtually and the last two (September 24 and 25) are in person at the Yale School of Medicine campus. Attendees are expected to attend the entire course.

Target Audience
Faculty involved in education of health care professional trainees.

Highlights of this highly experiential, hands-on course will include:

• Goals and principles of CBME (from milestones to EPAs)

• Practical application of multiple assessment methods and tools

• How to creative effective assessment systems

• Providing effective Feedback

• Direct Observation: Feedback on your Feedback!

• Self–regulated learning- what is its role in resident and student education?

• Clinical Competency Committee Management
