Developing Faculty Competency in Assessment

Yale collaborates with the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) to co-sponsor a regional faculty development course for academic faculty concentrated on assessment skills. The four-part course is highly experiential and delivered as a blend of virtual and in-person sessions. The course will address learner assessment skills (such as direct observation and feedback) as well as tools and strategies to help faculty best meet their programmatic requirements (clinical competency committee input, multisource evaluations). The target audience includes program directors, associate program directors, fellowship directors, clerkship directors, chairs, heads of clinical competency committees and other core faculty with major responsibility for assessment of students, residents and fellows.

This course will be offered in September 2026.
