Mini-Sessions on Assessment for Continuous Faculty Development.

As the Next Accreditation System (NAS) is rolled out, training programs will need to implement a process for continuous faculty development on the use of assessment tools. Reliable assessments of performance by multiple trained faculty are essential to demonstrate resident skill development over time. Yet, with increasing time demands on faculty, fullor half-day training sessions recommended by experts for greater efficacy of training are generally not feasible. Alternately, brief, continuous training, embedded in regularly scheduled meetings, can support ongoing faculty development to help meet NAS requirements.
