摘要:Background. The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) requires training programs to have a clinical competency committee (CCC) that regularly reviews each house officer’s performance.Objective. To identify areas for CCC faculty development via a survey of CCC faculty.Methods. An anonymous online survey was sent to CCC faculty of ACGME-accredited residency and fellowship programs at our large academic institution.Results. Response rate was 42% (177 of 417 identified CCC members). Respondents were from residency (51%) and fellowship (49%) programs. Fifty-nine percent (104 of 177) reported that more time during CCC meetings was spent discussing low performers whereas 41% (73 of 177) responded that equal time was spent discussing high and low performers. Fifty-four percent of respondents (95 of 177) reported being unaware of CCC resources available through the ACGME and 59% (104 of 177) indicated that faculty development sessions on CCC resources and best practices would be helpful. Seventy-two percent of respondents (128 of 177) thought that incorporation of a CCC had a positive impact on house officer assessment.Conclusions. A survey of CCC members at our institution indicates that faculty believe CCC review is a valuable component of house officer assessment. Further faculty development is needed to increase familiarity with available CCC resources and best practices.
