Competency Training Workshop

This workshop is designed to assist Transplant Hepatology Program Directors, Program Coordinators, clinical faculty, and trainees in Transplant Hepatology, Gastroenterology, and Internal Medicine in understanding the changes occurring in Transplant Hepatology training and assessment. Attendees will develop a better understanding of competency-based medical education specifically learned from the experience of the GI/Transplant Hepatology pilot training program. They will be able to better understand the new Transplant Hepatology milestones and their use in assessing and evaluating trainees and reporting to ACGME. Attendees will be updated on the progress of the Next Accreditation System (NAS) and gain a better understanding of its impact on Transplant Hepatology training and assessment beginning in July 2014, including a focus on the responsibilities of the Clinical Competency Committee and the need for faculty development in these areas.
