0.5 AOA Category 1-A Credits or AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™

Kathleen Sweeney, DO, FACOFP

Session description:
Each family medicine residency will have common and unique experiences that the Osteopathic Clinical Competency committee would expect to observe and assess at each Milestone level. To assist the Osteopathic Recognition Clinical Competency Committee function as efficiently and effectively as possible, it is helpful to develop a residency-specific shared mental model of the Milestones. It is valuable for the committee to have in mind specific examples illustrating the completion of each milestone by their program’s residents. In this presentation, I will share the approaches used by our program’s Osteopathic Recognition Clinical Competency committee to work toward formulating examples of skills, attitudes and behaviors that we feel best illustrate alignment with the individual Osteopathic Milestones as a trainee progresses through our family medicine residency.

Learning objectives:

1. Discuss ways to create a shared “mental model” of the OR Milestones for your OR CCC members and residency program
2. Discuss strategies to help your OR CCC be efficient
3. Share approaches to creating guideposts for the OR milestones in your residency
