Clinical Educators Faculty Development Module (On-Demand)-Nuts and Bolts of Clinical Competency Committees (CCCs)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. LaToya Jackson explains the ACGME Milestones and the role of Clinical Competence Committees (CCCs) in residency training. She reviews the history of milestones, beginning with the 1999 adoption of the six core competencies and the later creation of specialty-specific subcompetencies and narrative milestones, first implemented in 2013. She notes that feedback led to Milestones 2.0, which simplified and clarified the framework.<br /><br />The talk outlines how programs should use specialty-specific forms, supplemental guides, and evaluation tools to build a shared understanding among faculty and residents. CCCs are responsible for reviewing evaluations at least twice a year, assessing resident progress on milestones, and recommending advancement decisions to the program director. The milestones are not the sole basis for promotion, but rather one part of a broader evaluation process.<br /><br />Dr. Jackson emphasizes that milestones help identify struggling residents early, support individualized learning plans, guide feedback, and inform curriculum improvements. Residents are generally expected to reach level 4 by graduation. She also discusses CCC composition, including minimum membership requirements, the importance of regular contact with residents, diversity, and separate rules for osteopathic recognition.
