The ACGME Core Competencies have now become an integral part of resident training.

At the end of this session participants will be able to list the methodologies for each of the six core competencies.

9:00 - 10:00 am - Integrating the Model of Clinical Practice into the Curriculum - Stephen Hayden, MD, University of California, San Diego and Debra Perina, MD, University of Virginia

Emergency Medicine has been in the forefront of defining the nature of its clinical practice. This has led to a paradigm shift from a simple listing of items as the "core content" of emergency medicine to the creation of the "model of clinical practice" of our specialty. How should this new model be reflected in the EM resident curriculum? This session will provide participants with ways to incorporate the Model of Clinical Practice of Emergency Medicine into their respective curriculums.
