Abstract
The Milestones were initiated by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) to provide a framework for monitoring a trainee's progression throughout residency/fellowship. The Milestones describe stepwise skill progression through six core domains of clinical competency: Patient Care, Medical Knowledge, Interpersonal and Communication Skills, Practice-based Learning and Improvement, Professionalism, and Systems-based Practice. Since their introduction in 2013, several barriers to implementation have emerged. Thus, the ACGME launched the Milestones 2.0 project to develop updated specialty-specific milestones. The Pediatric Endocrinology Milestones 2.0 project aimed to improve upon Milestones 1.0 by addressing common limitations, providing resources for faculty to easily incorporate milestones into their assessment of trainees, and adding sub-competencies in health disparities, patient safety, and physician well-being.This paper reviews the development of the Pediatric Endocrinology Milestones 2.0 including the major changes from Milestones 1.0, development of the Supplemental Guide, and how Milestones 2.0 can be applied at the program level. Although use of the Milestones are required only for ACGME programs, the tools provided in Milestones 2.0 are applicable to fellowship programs worldwide.
