A10: The “Minimum Language” version of the General Competencies was endorsed by the ACGME at its September 28, 1999 meeting. It is intentionally meant as general, transitional language, to provide programs with latitude in incorporating various aspects of the general competencies into curricula and for teaching and evaluation. All RRCs are required to have this minimum version or some other version of language including the General Competencies and their evaluation in their respective program requirements by June, 2001. The “Full” version of the General Competencies includes a more complete set of descriptors for each competency. The General Competencies are currently being adapted by a Joint Initiative of the ACGME and the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) to reflect the uniqueness of each specialty.
