![]() The recommendations made in this document represent that research and information gathering and reflect a continued commitment both to the guiding principles and to improving the residency application and selection process for learners, medical schools, and residency programs.Ģ © 2016 Association of American Medical Colleges Using these principles as a guide, the Task Force undertook a more comprehensive review of survey findings and research on standardized and competency-based assessments and gathered additional feedback from program directors, student affairs deans, and other stakeholders. qualitative and quantitative assessments of applicants in an easy to read format increased opportunity for program directors to examine applicants holistically in the pre-interview information about applicants’ standing on the competencies required to be successful in residency5. a level of standardization and transparency that facilitates the residency selection process3. supplemental value to the information already provided in the ERAS application, transcripts, andletters of recommendationĢ. Pulling from earlier feedback and an initial review of relevant literature and survey data, the Task Force identified six principles to guide what the revised MSPE would provide:ġ. In 2014, an MSPE Task Force was charged with revisiting the document. Introduction In 1989, the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) charged a Committee on Deans’ Letters, composed of experienced representatives from medical schools and graduate medical education (GME) programs, to “develop guidelines on the evaluative information desired by program directors” and to “explore the feasibility of providing a model format for deans’ letters.” In 2002, a second Dean’s Letter Advisory Committee released recommendations designed to reaffirm the purpose of the Medical Student Performance Evaluation (MSPE), ensure consistency, and establish ongoing quality improvement.įeedback over the years has been robust and spirited, with both consensus and disagreement on the direction of the MSPE. Recommendations for Revising the Medical Student Performance Evaluation (MSPE)ġ © 2016 Association of American Medical Colleges © 2017 Association of American Medical Colleges Content updated and revised May 2017 The Association of American Medical Colleges serves and leads the academic medicine community to improve the health of all. It was created in collaboration with the AAMC MSPE Task Force and has been endorsed by the AAMC Council of Deans Advisory Board. This document is a publication of the AAMC. This document, Recommendations for Revising the Medical Student Performance Evaluation (MSPE), is among the resources intended to aid in that transition to residency process. The AAMC is working to support all involved in that transition by identifying resources and tools that will help applicants apply more strategically, program directors select more strategically, medical school advisors counsel more strategically, and ensure a smooth transition between an individual’s stages of learning. ![]() One of the primary areas of focus within Optimizing GME is an effort to improve the experience and process of a learner’s transition to residency. In February 2015, the AAMC and its member institutions launched a comprehensive approach to fostering innovation in both residency training and care delivery: the Optimizing GME Initiative. Medical schools and teaching hospitals are adapting education and training programs in response to changing demographics, exponential growth in medical discovery, and new expectations about the way physicians and patients interact. Graduate medical education (GME) in the United States is at a critical juncture. ![]()
