The Milestones for General Psychiatry Residency Training

In 1972, the AMA brought together the AMA, the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS), the American Hospital Association, the AAMC, and the Council of Medical Specialty Societies to form a Liaison Committee for Graduate Medical Education (LCGME) to coordinate and oversee the activities of the several independent RRC’s then in existence [7]. [...]the creation of the Clinical Skills Verification exams during training by the ABPN [5] with the end of the oral examinations for board certification did result in a uniform assessment of specific competencies across all psychiatry training programs. [...]as training program differ in design, the ability to assess milestones will vary greatly depending on the organization and timing of clinical rotations and experience.
