The development of a competency-based assessment rubric to measure resident milestones

Beatrice A Boateng et al. J Grad Med Educ. 2009 Sep.

Abstract

Background: The outcomes-based assessment rubric is a novel systematic instrument for documenting improvement in clinical learning.

Approach: This article describes the development of a rubric aimed at introducing specific performance indicators to measure the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education competencies.

Results: The potential benefits and implications for medical education include specifying performance indicators and outcomes, ensuring that assessment is coherent and consistent for all residents, measuring resident outcomes based on real-life criteria, providing opportunities for residents to demonstrate proficiency in a specific competency and outcome level, and improving the quality of assessment.
