Core Competencies

This section provides an important description of learning objectives and milestones for residents at different levels of training based on the six core competencies:

• Patient Care
• Medical Knowledge
• Interpersonal and Communication Skills
• Professionalism
• Practice-based Learning
• Systems-based Practice

These learning objectives are collected for the convenience of our residents and faculty and are intended to allow for rapid review of expectations at different levels of training. Please note that the stated objectives should never limit our achievement expectations. Residents at all levels of training should strive to continuously improve their competency in the diverse skills that define excellence for internists.
