In 2013, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) introduced the requirement for individualized curricula (IC) for pediatric residencies. In this workshop, we present a model for creating an advanced resident elective rotation, i.e. “Capstone,” which, in accordance with the IC requirement, deepens residents understanding of their chosen fellowship or career and provides an opportunity to advance those specific skills. In accordance with competency-based training, the Capstone moves away from a “time-spent” model toward meaningful, targeted offerings that build on previous experience and incorporate individualized goals. Clinical experiences prioritize a level of autonomy that is not routinely available to residents on other rotations. Additionally, a Capstone provides exposure to the demands and opportunities of their chosen field beyond the clinical aspects emphasized during their rotations.

This workshop will guide participants to create a new, or fine-tune an already existing, advanced resident elective rotation within their field and strategize how to implement this type of educational initiative. Using a Clinical, Administrative, Research/Scholarship and Teaching framework participants will prioritize aspects of a successful fellowship or career, consider core goals for their Capstone, practice a standardized approach to developing individualized objectives, and identify opportunities available at their own institution to create a “menu” of offerings. Participants can expect active engagement throughout the workshop, including small group reflection, discussion, and brainstorming, and will leave with a developed Capstone curriculum applicable at their respective institution and within their field.
