General Competencies in Radiology Residency Training

The ACGME Outcome Project Advisory Committee identified six General Competencies in Radiology Residency Training that were subsequently endorsed by the ACGME in February 1999. They are patient care, medical knowledge, practice based-learning and improvement, interpersonal and communication skills, professionalism, and systems-based practice. All Residency Review Committees (RRCs)must include minimum language regarding the general competencies and evaluation processes in their respective Program Requirements by July 2002.
