Beyond reflection: using the clinician educator milestones in faculty development.
Article in Medical education online, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionFaculty in academic medicine face increasing clinical and research demands, often limiting time for professional development and identity formation as educators. The ACGME Clinician Educator Milestones offer a structured framework for reflection and self-assessment, but their usefulness for broader applications such as needs assessment and program evaluation remains unexplored. We examined the potential of a milestone-based survey to support program evaluation and needs assessment in faculty development, and to gather preliminary validity evidence for its use beyond self-reflection.
methodsWe adapted the ACGME Clinician Educator Milestones into a 20-item survey across four domains: Educational Theory and Practice, Well-Being, Welcoming Learning Environment, and Administration. The survey was administered to three cohorts of interprofessional faculty development participants. Cohort1 (
resultsAll cohorts used the full range of proficiency levels. Cohort2 showed significant improvement from pre- to post-program (Wilks' Lambda = .123; F = 3.207; DISCUSSION: Preliminary findings support the use of the milestone-based survey for program evaluation and needs assessment in faculty development. Improvements aligned with curricular emphasis suggest content validity, while similar results across culturally distinct cohorts support external validity. Further research is warranted to explore the relationship between self-assessed competence and educator identity formation as well as the validity of use beyond reflection.
