AAIM and ABIM co-hosted a summit February 11-12 in Alexandria, VA, to bring subspecialty societies to a common understanding in regard to fellowship milestones.  Representatives from ABIM, ACGME, and AAIM presented updates on their own efforts in preparation for the launch of NAS, while everyone acquired a common vocabulary and understanding through an overview of competency-based medical education.  Presentations from subspecialties already immersed in milestone development and pilot projects—American Association for the Study of Liver Disease, American College of Cardiology, and the American Geriatrics Society—provided information about the collaborative process, barriers, and implementation plans as well as offered a broad range of approaches and resource utilization.  Subspecialty based small group discussions helped generate commonalities in several competencies. AAIM will remain at the forefront of this work, uniting the academic internal medicine community as it prepares for NAS.

ASP and AAIM are collaborating with the American Board of Internal Medicine and the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education to bring together societal representatives for the Internal Medicine Subspecialty Milestones Summit.  To be held February 11-12, 2013, in Alexandria, VA, the goals of the summit are discuss the ACGME NAS charge and timeline for developing subspecialty milestones; provide an update on current milestone development work in internal medicine and selected subspecialties; and develop appropriate strategies to efficiently develop subspecialty milestones capitalizing on existing milestones development work.
