Neuroradiology Milestones

The Milestones are designed only for use in evaluation of fellows in the context of their participation in
ACGME-accredited residency or fellowship programs. The Milestones provide a framework for the
assessment of the development of the fellow in key dimensions of the elements of physician competence in
a specialty or subspecialty. They neither represent the entirety of the dimensions of the six domains of
physician competency, nor are they designed to be relevant in any other context.

Understanding Milestone Levels and Reporting

This document presents the Milestones, which programs use in a semi-annual review of fellow performance, and then report to
the ACGME. Milestones are knowledge, skills, attitudes, and other attributes for each of the ACGME Competencies organized
in a developmental framework. The narrative descriptions are targets for resident/fellow performance throughout their
educational program.

Milestones are arranged into levels. Tracking from Level 1 to Level 5 is synonymous with moving from novice to expert fellow
in the specialty or subspecialty. For each reporting period, the Clinical Competency Committee will review the completed
evaluations to select the milestone levels that best describe each learner’s current performance, abilities, and attributes for
each subcompetency.

These levels do not correspond with post-graduate year of education. Depending on previous experience, a junior fellow may
achieve higher levels early in his/her educational program just as a senior fellow may be at a lower level later in his/her
educational program. There is no predetermined timing for a resident to attain any particular level. Fellows may also regress in
achievement of their milestones. This may happen for many reasons, such as over scoring in a previous review, a disjointed
experience in a particular procedure, or a significant act by the fellow.

Selection of a level implies the fellow substantially demonstrates the milestones in that level, as well as those in lower levels
(see the diagram on page vi).

Additional Notes

Level 4 is designed as a graduation goal but does not represent a graduation requirement. Making decisions about readiness
for graduation and unsupervised practice is the purview of the program director. Furthermore, Milestones 2.0 include revisions
and changes that preclude using Milestones as a sole assessment in high-stakes decisions (i.e., determination of eligibility for
certification or credentialing). Level 5 is designed to represent an expert fellow whose achievements in a subcompetency are
greater than the expectation. Milestones are primarily designed for formative, developmental purposes to support continuous
quality improvement for individual learners, education programs, and the specialty. The ACGME and its partners will continue
to evaluate and perform research on the Milestones to assess their impact and value.

Some milestone descriptions include statements about performing independently. These activities must occur in conformity to
ACGME supervision guidelines as described in the Program Requirements, as well as to institutional and program policies. For
example, a fellow who performs a procedure independently must, at a minimum, be supervised through oversight.

A Supplemental Guide is also available to provide the intent of each subcompetency, examples for each level, assessment
methods or tools, and other available resources. The Supplemental Guide, like examples contained within the Milestones, is
designed only to assist the program director and Clinical Competency Committee and is not meant to demonstrate any
required element or outcome.

The diagram below presents an example set of milestones for one subcompetency in the same format as the ACGME
        Report Worksheet. For each reporting period, a fellow’s performance on the milestones for each subcompetency will be
        indicated by selecting the level of milestones that best describes that fellow’s performance in relation to those
        milestones.
