Core Competencies

The American Board of Medical Specialties ( ABMS ) and the Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) have embarked on a joint initiative to quantify and evaluate a set of 6 physician core competencies by which the individual physician will be measured for Residency Certification, Board Certification and more recently, Maintenance of Certification (MOC).

In brief the actual term “core competencies” refers to those 6 abilities (competencies) that are central (core) to the practice of medicine, specifically:

Patient Care Medical Knowledge Practice-Based Learning and Improvement Interpersonal and Communication Skills Professionalism Systems-Based PracticeDr. Sanjeet Dadwal has indicated that that the education content of this presentation will provide information and insight on Core Competencies #1 Patient Care and #2 Medical Knowledge.

The CME certificate for this activity will reflect those core competencies addressed.

For many patients undergoing bone marrow transplantation, graft versus host disease (GVHD) ranks as one of the most ...
  • Though endometrial cancer is the most common gynecological cancer, there are no screening tests for the disease and only limited treatments for women whose cancer isn’t eliminated through surgery or radiation. But new City of Hope research could ultimately pave the way both for targeted treatments and screening...
  • For breast cancer patients whose disease has spread to local lymph nodes, treatment may entail surgical removal of those nodes to decrease the likelihood of recurrence. But that procedure also comes with the risk of lymphedema, a painful swelling of the arm caused by retained fluids. However, findings from a re...
  •  Understanding how cells repair DNA damage is key to revealing the role of BRCA1 and other tumor suppressors and to overcoming chemotherapy resistance in cancer. City of Hope research just published in Nucleic Acids Research sheds light on this topic and could lead to improved therapies. Principal investigator ...
  • The discovery of genes that may increase a woman’s risk of developing breast cancer has resulted in potentially powerful tools to guide care – but like all new technologies, there’s a learning curve.
