These competencies are intended as the first step in identifying the key educational outcomes of individual healthcare professionals that should inform learning objectives, assessment, and curriculum of graduate training programs, adapted to the content, education, and practice of the particular specialty/subspecialty. As we will see in the section, Dimension 3: Assessment of Progression, Milestones and EPAs are constructs and concepts, specified and adapted by specialties that can facilitate the implementation of competency-based training. The data produced by the assessment of competencies serve as a basis for judging the quality of the trainees and their training, as well as supporting the continuous improvement of both.
Dimension 2: Levels and Types of Assessment
The multifaceted nature of the competencies makes it
https://t.me/med1917
apparent that no single method could provide a sufficient basis for making judgments about learners in health professions education. In an organized approach to this problem, George Miller proposed a classification scheme in 1990 that stratifies assessment methods based on what they require of the trainee and has stood the test of time. Often referred to as Miller’s pyramid (Fig. 1.4), it is composed of
four levels: knows, knows how, shows how, and does.

FIG. 1.4 Miller’s pyramid.
Miller’s Pyramid
Knows. This is the lowest level of the pyramid and it contains methods that assess what a trainee “knows” in an area of competence. Forming the base of the pyramid, knowledge represents the foundation upon which clinical competence is built. Most MCQ examinations focus on biologic and clinical domains. However, an MCQ-based examination composed of questions focused on ethics and principles of patient confidentiality would provide an assessment of what a trainee “knows” about key tenets of
https://t.me/med1917
professionalism.
Knows how. To function as a physician, a good knowledge base is necessary but insufficient. It is important to know how to apply this knowledge in the acquisition of data, the analysis and interpretation of findings, and the development of management plans. Oral examinations, still in use by some certification boards, are one example of a high-stakes “knows how” assessment. In the United States, the surgical certification boards use oral examinations to assess how recent residency and fellowship graduates would approach a clinical condition (e.g., trauma). As another example, a training program used for professionalism might pose a moral dilemma, asks trainees to reason through it, and evaluate the sophistication of their moral thinking.
Shows how. Although trainees may know and know how, they may not be able to integrate these skills into a successful performance with patients. Consequently, certain assessment methods require the trainee to show how they perform with patients. For example, standardized patients may be used to assess clinical skills such as informed decision-making and breaking bad news. As another example, a standardized patient presenting with an ethical challenge would offer the trainee an opportunity to “show how” they would respond to a professionalism challenge. Miller referenced this level as “performance,” akin to an actor on a stage performing under controlled conditions.
Does. No matter how good traditional assessment methods become, there remains the concern that what happens in a controlled testing environment does not generalize directly or predict what happens in practice. This is evident in studies of high-stakes MCQ examinations that find, at best, only a modest correlation of test scores and quality of care provided
https://t.me/med1917
to actual patients.93 The highest level of Miller’s pyramid therefore focuses on methods that provide an assessment of routine performance, or what Miller called action. For example, the development and use of multisource feedback tools, patient experience surveys, and critical incident systems, such as the one currently used in some residencies and medical schools, offers an assessment of what learners actually do in terms of interpersonal skills and professionalism.
Miller’s pyramid is a useful framework for considering differences and similarities among assessment methods. However, the fact that it is a pyramid might imply to some that methods addressing the higher levels are better, or conversely, that the larger area occupied by the base of the pyramid implies that knowledge assessment is most important. Instead, superior methods are those best aligned with the purpose of the assessment. For example, if an assessment of foundational medical knowledge is needed, a method associated with that level (e.g., MCQs) is likely better than a method associated with another level (e.g., standardized patients).
Two groups have advocated for changes to Miller’s pyramid. Cruess and colleagues argued to add “Is” to the top of the pyramid to recognize the importance of professional identity formation, but it is not yet clear where this fits into
an assessment program.94 More recently, ten Cate and colleagues extended the pyramid, placing “Entrusted with future care” at the top as the ultimate assessment decision.
The Cambridge Model
As physicians near the end of training and enter practice,
https://t.me/med1917
external forces and context come to play a very large role in performance. The Cambridge Model, a variation on Miller’s pyramid, proposes that performance in practice (the highest level of the pyramid) is influenced by two large forces
beyond competence.95 Systems-related factors, such as government programs, clinical microsystems (i.e., the clinical units where learners care for patients), institutional care delivery practices, patient expectations, and guidelines, among other factors, strongly influence what physicians do. Similarly, factors related to the individual physician such as state of mind, physical and mental health, and relationships with peers and family have a significant effect. Consequently, assessment becomes more difficult because it is harder to disentangle the effects of the context (e.g., context specificity; see Chapter 8) of care from the competence of the individual physician. Here, a focus on healthcare processes and outcomes as a measure of what a physician “does” can provide a robust assessment of a physician’s ability to integrate multiple competencies within a complex social context.
However, processes and outcomes are still impacted by system factors that can affect patient preferences and thus impact the measurement of processes of care such as the availability of specific services that may also impact outcomes. Fig. 1.5 highlights the complex, interdependent interactions and relationships involved in caring for patients. Assessment programs must consider the impact of these relationships when designing and implementing assessment programs because of the significant intersection and dependence of educational outcomes and quality of care
provided to patients.

educational and healthcare outcomes.
Dimension 3: Assessment of Progression
Acquiring competence is not an overnight process. Trainees progress through a series of stages that begin in undergraduate medical education and continue throughout their careers. Educators must be able to recognize when a trainee has attained sufficient knowledge, skills, and attitudes to enter the next stage and this requires appropriate standards and benchmarks for the transition. Hurbert Dreyfus and Stuart Dreyfus created a developmental model of learning applicable to the health professions that proposes
five stages of educational development (Table 1.4).

The characteristics of learners and the steps they must go through to acquire competence will change over the five stages of development, and each step, or stage, does not occur in a linear fashion (Fig. 1.6). Necessarily, the methods of assessment applied at each developmental level will likely also evolve. For example, at the level of the novice, an MCQ­based knowledge test might be most appropriate, but a standardized patient–based examination might be better suited to learners who are in the competence or proficiency stage depending on the competency of interest. It is important to realize that learners are typically at different stages for different competencies, depending on the content and context of the task and competency being assessed. This observation has been clearly seen in the US Milestones data
and other studies of learning curves.98 For example, a resident may be seen as “proficient” in working up a patient with chest pain, but at the “advanced beginner” level in counseling a patient regarding end-of-life care. Likewise, many students achieve competence with regard to medical knowledge, or perhaps communication skills, before they acquire the same level in more challenging systems-based practice domains such as care coordination or cost-conscious care delivery.
