Introducing a Comprehensive Framework for Competency-based Procedure Training.

Background: Select graduating residents across various specialties will need to perform bedside procedures as fellows, as supervising faculty, or as practicing providers. Therefore, the development of a focused and structured curriculum is needed to enhance procedure training.

Aim: We aim to introduce reproducible frameworks and tools for procedure training.

Night vision: a new blueprint for bedside ultrasound training in medical residency.

Background: Faculty expertise and support, resident scheduling, and cost of ultrasound machines are common barriers encountered when attempting to implement a new point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) curriculum. Integration of a POCUS curriculum into existing night medicine rotations helps bypass these barriers by minimizing the amount of trained faculty required and harnessing clinical opportunities within a pre-existing curriculum.

Methods: 37 PGY-1 residents participated in this pilot study within the inpatient setting of VCU Health hospital, primarily during their night medicine rotations.

Competency-based assessment of procedural skills in resident training.

Background: No standardized summative tools exist to assess competency in bedside procedures or provide residents and programs with summative feedback.

Objective: To provide competency-based procedure training and feedback to residents, we created a procedure competency committee (PCC). Here, we describe the PCC process, its impact on procedure training, and examine residents' attainment of competency in bedside procedures.
