Emergency medicine residency programs use standardized oral exams (SOEs) to evaluate residents on general competencies. This study modified an existing SOE strategy to assess knowledge, skills, experiences, and attitudes.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Emergency Medicine Training

Background:

  • Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) mandates formal resident evaluation via oral and written exams.
  • ACGME introduced six general competencies for graduate medical education, requiring program-specific implementation and evaluation methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a modified standardized oral examination (SOE) strategy.
  • To assess residents' knowledge, skills, experiences, and attitudes within the framework of ACGME general competencies.

Main Methods:

  • Modification of an existing SOE strategy at Michigan State University Emergency Medicine Residency Program.
  • Monthly SOEs used to evaluate residents' performance against general competencies.

Main Results:

  • The modified SOE strategy effectively assesses residents' knowledge, skills, experiences, and attitudes.
  • The approach provides a practical method for evaluating general competencies in emergency medicine residents.

Conclusions:

  • Standardized oral examinations can be adapted to evaluate the ACGME's general competencies.
  • Residency programs can utilize modified SOEs to meet ACGME requirements for competency-based assessment.
