Reflections, Goals, & Objectives - Oh My! Best Practices for Creating Individualized Learning Plans

Historically, most programs implemented individual learning plans (ILPs) for residents needing remediation. With the ACGME requirements and ABFM expectations for competency-based medical education (CBME), there is a shift from limited learning plans for underperforming residents to more comprehensive plans for all residents - both to mitigate the stigma of having an ILP and to recognize that progression of learning is unique to each individual learner. While the former remediation plans were driven by faculty, ILPs are ultimately meant to be resident driven. This presentation will help participants understand the components of an ILP, how they differ from remediation plans, and pearls for getting started with their own residents.
This webinar is the second in a series of CBME focused webinars hosted by STFM and the AFMRD and is a follow up to the webinar, What You Need to Know About ACGME and ABFM Expectations for a Shift to Competency-Based Medical Education.
Upon completion of this session, participants should be able to:
- List components of personal/individual learning plans.
- Describe the difference between remediation plans and
personal/individual learning plans.
- List three pearls to developing personal/individual learning plans.
