Joint Royal Colleges of Physicians Training Board (JRCPTB)Changes to specialty trainee assessment and review August 2014 Trainee induction guidance
Revised system for assessment • Change to how ePortfolio evidence is used to determine trainee progress • Aims to enhance learning through effective feedback and action plans • Applies to all core and higher medical trainees from 6 August 2014 • ARCP decision aids set out the requirements for each stage of training
Work place based assessment • CbD, mini-CEX and ACAT tools to be used for supervised learning events (SLEs) • Trainees should actively seek feedback from assessors immediately following an SLE • Trainees and supervisors should formulate action plans and arrange follow-up • DOPS, MSF, teaching observations and audit assessments will continue in current format
Linking evidence in ePortfolio • ePortfolio evidence should be linked to competencies to show learning and engagement with the curriculum • One piece of evidence is sufficient if it demonstrates a competency has been properly explored • ePortfolio linkages of SLEs should be limited to 8 for ACAT and 2 for mini-CEX and CbD
Linking evidence in ePortfolio (2) • You should self-assess and assign indicative ratings from the drop-down box for each competency you have explored • Ten of the common competencies will not require linked evidence in the ePortfolio unless concerns are raised
Sampling of competencies • Your supervisor should regularly sample and discuss your linked evidence, ratings and statements in the ePortfolio • It is not necessary to examine all evidence and competencies to determine progress • We recommend 10-12 competencies are sampled per training year. More will be required if evidence is considered inadequate
Educational supervisor report • The educational supervisor’s report is pivotal to the ARCP process and includes a summary of multiple consultant reports (MCRs) and multi-source feedback (MSF) • Your supervisor will report on your engagement with the curriculum determined by sampling of evidence and competencies
Guidance The following resources are available on the JRCPTB website www.jcrptb.org.uk • Guidance for trainees • Guidance for supervisors • ARCP decision aids • Assessment methods • Specialty placement checklists for CMT/AIM
