The authors wish to thank the members of the Emergency Medicine Milestone Advisory Group for their contributions to this work: Timothy Brigham, MDiv, PhD; Wallace A.

The Milestones are designed only for use in evaluation of resident physicians in the context of their participation in Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education–accredited residency or fellowship programs. The Milestones provide a framework for the assessment of the development of the resident physician in key dimensions of the elements of physician competency in a specialty or subspecialty. They neither represent the entirety of the dimensions of the 6 domains of physician competency, nor are they designed to be relevant in any other context.
