The Endovascular Surgical Neuroradiology Milestone Project

The Milestones are designed only for use in evaluation of fellows in the context of their participation in ACGME-

accredited residency or fellowship programs. The Milestones provide a framework for assessment of the

development of the fellow in key dimensions of the elements of physician competency in a specialty or

subspecialty. They neither represent the entirety of the dimensions of the six domains of physician competency,

nor are they designed to be relevant in any other context.

Milestone Reporting

This document presents milestones designed for programs to use in semi-annual review of fellow performance and reporting to the ACGME. Milestones are knowledge, skills, attitudes, and other attributes for each of the ACGME competencies organized in a developmental framework from less to more advanced. They are descriptors and targets for fellow performance as a fellow moves from entry into fellowship through graduation. In the initial years of implementation, the Review Committee will examine Milestone performance data for each program’s fellows as one element in the Next Accreditation System (NAS) to determine whether fellows overall are progressing. For each period, review and reporting will involve selecting Milestone levels that best describe a fellow’s current performance and attributes. Milestones are arranged into numbered levels. Tracking from Level 1 to Level 5 is synonymous with moving from novice to expert in the subspecialty. Selection of a level implies that the fellow substantially demonstrates the milestones in that level, as well as those in lower levels (see the diagram on page v).

Level 1: The fellow demonstrates milestones expected of an incoming fellow.

Level 2: The fellow is advancing and demonstrates additional milestones, but is not yet performing at a mid-fellowship level.

Level 3: The fellow continues to advance and demonstrate additional milestones, consistently including the majority of milestones targeted for fellowship.

Level 4: The fellow has advanced so that he or she now substantially demonstrates the milestones targeted for fellowship. This level is designed as the graduation target.

Level 5: The fellow has advanced beyond performance targets set for fellowship and is demonstrating “aspirational” goals which might describe the performance of someone who has been in practice for several years. It is expected that only a few exceptional fellows will reach this level.

Additional Notes

Level 4 is designed as the graduation target and does not represent a graduation requirement. Making decisions about readiness for

graduation is the purview of the fellowship program director. Study of Milestone performance data will be required before the

ACGME and its partners will be able to determine whether milestones in the first four levels appropriately represent the

developmental framework, and whether Milestone data are of sufficient quality to be used for high-stakes decisions.

Examples are provided with some milestones. Please note that the examples are not the required element or outcome; they are

provided as a way to share the intent of the element.

Some milestone descriptions include statements about performing independently. These activities must occur in conformity to the ACGME supervision guidelines, as well as to institutional and program policies. For example, a fellow who performs a procedure independently must, at a minimum, be supervised through oversight.

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions about Milestones are available on the Milestones web page: http://www.acgme.org/acgmeweb/Portals/0/MilestonesFAQ.pdf.

v

The diagram below presents an example set of milestones for one sub-competency in the same format as the ACGME Report

Worksheet. For each reporting period, a fellow’s performance on the milestones for each sub-competency will be indicated

by selecting the level that best describes that fellow’s performance in relation to those milestones.

Selecting a response box in the middle of a

level implies that milestones in that level and

in lower levels have been substantially

demonstrated.

Selecting a response box on the line in between levels

indicates that milestones in lower levels have been

substantially demonstrated as well as some milestones

in the higher level(s).
