Abstract

The US Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) requires that training programs teach physicians broad core competencies, some of which are not well suited to either large classroom lectures or high-pressure clinical environments. We sought to create new and more effective methods of teaching some of the more challenging ACGME competencies based on Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS).
