Anesthesiology Milestones 1.0: Residents’ Learning Trajectories and Training Outcomes
We found a high prevalence of straight-lining in Anesthesiology Milestones 1.0 ratings. This raises concerns about whether Milestones evaluations reflect individual resident performance in specific domains. The programs explained most of the between-resident variability in both baseline ratings and growth rates. Future studies are needed to promote standardization and consistency of Milestones evaluations, allowing learners to track their progress and target specific areas to improve performance.
