Self-Assessment of Competencies and Learning Plan

Residents conduct a formal self-assessment of competencies in January before the scheduling of the residency year, at the beginning, midpoint, and end of the residency. This self-assessment is conducted within One45 and forms the basis for the individualized Learning Plan and is used to tailor learning experiences within the residency to address specific identified learning needs.  To view the self assessment form click here.

Learning Plan

The Learning Plan is comprised of the academic curriculum for the residency year.  The academic curriculum includes specific learning objectives of all the residency rotations as well as the residents personal learning objectives.  Overall the scheduling of the residency year and selection of residency rotations are based on the needs identified by the resident. Typically, residents will have 6-10 learning objectives for the residency year in addition to three or four personal learning objectives for each rotation. Learning objectives should have identified strategies for achieving these objectives. The Program Coordinator will work with each resident to ensure that the objectives are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-appropriate.   The resident maintains a one45 based procedure log to document their personal learning objectives for the residency program and for each residency rotation.   Both the resident and preceptor indicates on the one45 assessment form if the residents personal learning objectives have been met during the rotation.
