Educational milestone development for psychiatry.

The Psychiatry Milestones describe key steps in the acquisition of foundational knowledge, skills, and attributes, culminating in competence for unsupervised practice at the completion of formal training. The Psychiatry Milestones also will assure continued lifelong learning after completion of residency. Aggregated to the program level, the Milestones will be used by the Residency Review Committee (RRC) for Psychiatry as a measure of program training efficacy in the Next Accreditation System (NAS).
