Investigating Program Differences in ACGME General Surgery Milestone 2.0 Ratings: Medical Knowledge and Practice-Based Learning and Improvement
Our study found that 1 to two-thirds of the variance in milestone ratings for MK and PBLI can be attributed to program variations. These variations may be attributed to program differences in CCC rating practices. A high percentage of programs rate residents uniformly corresponding to their PGY level. Further research is needed to investigate the consistency and fairness of clinical competency committee ratings practices, mitigate uniform rating, and improve the degree to which milestone ratings reflect individual resident competency as opposed to the residency program.
