AI Article Synopsis
- Clinical competency committees (CCCs) are essential for evaluating resident performance on specialty milestones, but there isn't a universal model for their operation, leading each CCC to create its own methods.
- A study involving observations and interviews across various specialties and institutions identified three key areas influencing CCC functionality: membership structure, the CCC's role in residency training, and decision-making processes.
- Despite some effective practices, significant variations in how CCCs operate were noted, suggesting a need for further research on how these differences affect educational outcomes for residents.
Article Abstract
Purpose: Clinical competency committees (CCCs) assess residents' performance on their specialty specific milestones, however there is no 'one-size fits all' blueprint for accomplishing this. Thus, CCCs have had to develop their own procedures. The goal of this study was to examine these efforts to assist new programs embarking on this venture and established programs looking to improve their CCC practices and processes.
Methods: We purposefully sampled CCCs across multiple specialties and institutions. Data from three sources were triangulated: (1) online demographic survey, (2) ethnographic observations of CCC meetings and (3) post-observation semi-structured interviews with the program director and/or CCC chairperson. Template analysis was used to build the coding structure.
Results: Sixteen observations were completed with 15 different CCCs at 9 institutions. Three main thematic categories that impact the operations of CCCs emerged: (1) Membership structure and members roles, (2) Roles of the CCC in residency and 3) CCC processes, including trainee presentation to the committee and decision-making. While effective practices were observed, substantial variation existed in all three thematic areas.
Conclusions: While CCCs used some known effective practices, substantial variation in structure and processes was notable across CCCs. Future work should explore the impact of this variation on educational outcomes.

Incorporating simulation as part of continuing professional education can help APPs maintain clinical procedural competency and learn new procedural techniques to improve the quality and safety of procedures performed in the clinical setting. In 2013, we successfully developed and implemented an annual didactic and simulation-based neonatal procedural skills program.
