ASP Aging Project

The Association of Specialty Professors (ASP) began the "Integrating Geriatrics into the Specialties of Internal Medicine: Moving Forward from Awareness to Action" project after receiving a generous $2.6 million grant from the John A. Hartford Foundation. ASP received additional support ($250,000 for the project from Atlantic Philanthropies (USA) Inc.

The four-year project seeks to achieve the goal of embedding geriatrics and gerontology into the specialties of internal medicine by:

  • Expanding research efforts through National Institutes of Health meetings
  • Continued professional development of T. Franklin Williams Scholars
  • Putting resources to work constructively

Application Inflation

Application Inflation

Every year, medical students are applying to an increasing number of internal medicine residency programs. However, the data do not support the pervasive belief that US senior medical students are less successful in the NRMP Main Residency Match or that the Match is becoming more competitive over time. As a result of misconceptions, there has been a 28% increase in IM categorical applications between 2013-2016 among US and Canadian medical graduates.

Clinical Competency Committee

Clinical Competency Committee

Clinical Competency Committee (CCC) faculty have a unique view of their assessment systems as they have to review all resident assessment data, determine the quality of that data, and synthesize it into judgements about residents’ achievement of the milestones. As such, it is essential that faculty who participate in the CCC, and in other aspects of the resident assessment process, be knowledgeable about the milestones, current assessment methods, interpretation of assessment data, and rater error, among other topics. It is also important that they have the ability to identify areas for improvement in the assessment process and to implement changes that will aid the CCC in tracking each resident’s progression in the milestones.

Curated Milestones Evaluation Exhibit

More than 35 instruments were submitted by AAIM members. These 16 instruments were selected for display by members of the AAIM Education Committee as "best practices," based upon clarity of description, innovation and novelty, capability of informing milestone reporting, and potential applicability to other training programs.

While AAIM does not endorse any particular method for evaluation or for milestone reporting to ACGME, these evaluation instruments are shared to help medicine residency and fellowship programs that are looking for examples. For further information about the instruments, please contact the developers directly; contact information is available in the individual exhibits.
