A Novel Core Competencies-Based Academic Medicine Curriculum: Description and Preliminary Results.
Physicians practice health care in a rapidly changing system that requires more than the delivery of safe and effective care. Modern physicians must also acquire skills beyond direct patient care. Residency programs must, therefore, prepare physicians to meet these demands by providing appropriate education and training. ⋯ We found that the academic medicine rotation (AMR) is feasible in a large academic setting. Furthermore, the AMR allows early exposure to and improvement in essential non-patient contact related physician skills required by the ACGME core competencies and assessed through the milestones.
