ABIM's Faculty Development Course

Each year ABIM joins with the National Board of Medical Examiners to offer "Evaluation of Clinical Competence: A Faculty Development Course for a New Era." This intensive four-day course is designed exclusively to train faculty to evaluate clinical competence based on the six general competencies of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). The highly interactive small-group course, limited to 16 participants, also includes workshops on the following topics:

• Direct Observation Skills
• How to Evaluate the ACGME Competencies
• Systematic Review of Evaluation Tools
• Working with Problem and Marginal Residents
• Teaching and Evaluating Practice-Based Learning and Improvement and Systems-Based Practice.

The cost of registration is $875, with a $100 non-refundable deposit. The cost of registration covers all course materials and some meals. Due to the limited number of available spaces, registration information is distributed to program directors prior to each workshop. Registration is filled on a first-come, first-served basis, with priority given to those on the workshop waiting list.
