Connecting milestones to observable clinical performance through standardized pediatric cardiology rotations evaluations: Report and reflections on a novel pilot project

The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) began the Next Accreditation System (NAS) in July 2013 as a restructuring of its accreditation process based on educational outcomes in the six core domains of competence [1,2]. In a joint effort of the ACGME and the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP), these domains of patient care, medical knowledge, systems-based practice, practice-based learning and improvement, interpersonal and communication skills, and professionalism were further divided into 48 subcompetencies with five developmental milestone levels defined for each [3 –10].
