With the launch of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Milestones Project in 2014, residency programs faced new challenges in meeting the needs of their learners and fulfilling accreditation requirements. The assessment paradigm shifted from a checklist-driven system to one that emphasized the role of formative feedback in professional development.
In light of these changes, the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine (STFM) assembled a task force of medical educators to create a single resource for information regarding accreditation and resident assessment for family medicine residency programs. The STFM Residency Accreditation Toolkit represents the culmination of these efforts.
The Toolkit is now under the supervision of the STFM Graduate Medical Education Committee and undergoes regular revisions to keep up-to-date with changes in accreditation.
