Family Medicine residency programs “must provide an objective performance evaluation based on the Competencies and the specialty-specific Milestones," and “must assess residents in each of the six Core Competency areas upon entrance into the program.” An Emergency Medicine program performed its interns’ Level 1 milestone assessment using multi-source methods and found it feasible and useful to determine
Level 1 milestones achievement for incoming interns. This presentation outlines how one community-based Family Medicine residency program assesses its incoming PGY1 residents on Family Medicine and Osteopathic Recognition Milestones through qualitative and quantitative measures and shares this feedback with the PGY1s. The Program Director and Associate Program Director who, with residency administrative staff, mapped their “Introduction to Family Medicine” block rotation to Family Medicine and Osteopathic Recognition Milestones, and designed evaluation tools to collect baseline data for PGY1 residents on the Milestones. This baseline milestone data is shared with the PGY1s by their advisors and is presented to the Clinical Competency Committee. Feedback from advisors and the CCC found the information very helpful, and residents found the information somewhat helpful. This system allows the program to identify strengths and areas for improvement in a timely manner, and increases residents' engagement in their evaluation process.

Learning Objectives

• Understand the importance of assessing incoming PGY-1 residents based on the Family Medicine and Osteopathic Recognition Core Competencies.
• Describe different methods of assessing PGY-1’s skill levels in Family Medicine and Osteopathic Recognition Core Competencies.
• Describe a framework by which baseline assessment feedback may be shared with PGY-1 residents, PGY-1 resident advisors, and the Clinical Competency Committee.
