Abstract
To move toward a competency-based residency curriculum, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Outcome Project will use educational Milestones to assess residents' acquisition of competence for unsupervised practice, and will require measures of educational program effectiveness by assessing whether residents achieve certain specialty-specific Milestones in the 6 ACGME competencies. In January 2012, the American Board of Thoracic Surgery (ABTS) and the ACGME jointly formed a working group and charged it with developing the Thoracic Surgery Milestones. The development of the Milestones come at an important time, as the curricular and training paradigms in cardiothoracic surgery (CTS) have changed in recent years, and the Milestones will also be used to assess the success of these important changes.
