Development of the Anesthesiology Educational Milestones

Abstract

In the Next Accreditation System, resident performance and progression assessed through educational Milestones will be used as 1 of a number of quality indicators to evaluate the educational effectiveness of residency programs. The Anesthesiology Milestones will be used to measure the success of individual anesthesiology residents in achieving expected goals of training, and the effectiveness of the residency program will in part be evaluated based on aggregated Milestone performance data.
