FS: Foundational Competencies for Undergraduate Medical Education: Results of a National Initiative
Description

Session Coordinator: Kathleen Everling

The medical education community has been working towards competency based education for decades. However, much work remains to align undergraduate and graduate medical education and enhance the transition to residency. An initiative led and advised by multiple medical education organizations, incl IAMSE, has recently resulted in new foundational competencies for undergraduate medical education in the U.S. regardless of location or degree type.

By the end of this Focus Session, participants will be able to:
- Defend the need for a standard set of foundational competencies across UME programs, that align with GME.
- Describe the foundational UME competencies that align across the continuum, and the process used to develop them.
- Construct one action towards local adoption of the new foundational competencies.
