Beyond the Procedure Log: Using Individualized Learning Plans to Set Learner-Specific Milestones for Procedural Skills Acquisition.
Academic Medicine 2023 December 20
Procedural training for nonsurgical fields, such as internal medicine, is an important component of medical education. However, recent changes to accreditation guidelines have resulted in less formal guidance on procedural competency, not only leading to opportunities for individualizing training but also creating potential problems for trainees and training programs. In this article, the authors use internal medicine as an exemplar to review current strategies for procedural education in nonsurgical fields, including procedural simulation, dedicated procedural rotations, and advanced subspecialty training, and highlight an emerging need for learner-specific terminal milestones in procedural training. Individualized learning plans (ILPs), collections of trainee-specific objectives for learning, are arguably a useful strategy for organizing procedural training. The role of ILPs as a framework to support setting learner-specific terminal milestones, guide skill acquisition, and allocate procedural learning opportunities based on trainees' anticipated career plans is subsequently explored, and how an ILP-based approach might be implemented within the complex educational milieu of a clinical training program is examined. The limitations and pitfalls of an ILP-based approach, including the need for development of coaching programs, are considered. The authors conclude that, despite the limitations of ILPs, when combined with other current strategies for building trainees' procedural competence, these plans may help trainees maximize the educational benefits of their training period and can encourage effective, safer, and equitable allocation of procedural practice opportunities.
