Residency Applicant Knowledge of the Six ACGME Core Competencies
Resident applicants (anesthesiology) knowledge of the six ACGME Core Competencies was very poor according to a recent study published last year in Academic Medicine (see http://journals.lww.com/academicmedicine/Fulltext/2010/05000/Do_Residency_Applicants_Know_What_the_ACGME_Core.19.aspx ) Only 3 of 193 (2%) applicants knew all six competencies. The six competencies are: medical knowlege, patient care, professionalism, communications, systems-based practice, and practice-based learning and improvement.
