Key Milestones in your Training
Written by Dr Tracey Collins   

(GEAR S1.4, S2.3)

Overall Objectives of the training year for ST1 and ST2
  1. Passing the Deanery annual review and progressing to the next training year:
     
    • Satisfactory completion of the two reviews with your Educational Supervisor:

      • Assessments (mini-CEX, CbD, MSF - ST1 only)
      • Learning Log
         
    • Submitting a learning log that shows educational activity across the curriculum.

       
  2. Gaining a knowledge base that is relevant to the GP curriculum

    • Use the RCGP curriculum map and hospital-based learning objectives
    • Ensure that your learning log in each post reflects the required knowledge base.
       
     
  3. Acquiring core clinical skills
     
    • Become familiar with the skills section in your portfolio
    • Use DOPS assessments to record progress towards competence
    • Complete Foundation programme DOPS if you do not have these from previous posts.

        
  4. Developing links with your Training Practice

    • Keep in regular contact with your Educational Supervisor
    • Maximise opportunity to spend study leave in General Practice
    • Use these contacts to consider the primary care perspective of your hospital posts

Learning Objectives for individual posts

The nMRCGP Curriculum must form the core to planning your learning objectives and the Curriculum Map (RCGP Website) does help to demonstrate the knowledge base that you are expected to cover. However, learning opportunities in hospital posts will cross several curriculum chapters. The most obvious example is A&E where you will probably see clinical problems from most chapters of the curriculum.
