How to Teach the Topic of Acute Myelogenous Leukemia: Recommendations for Achieving Curricular Milestones

Gary J Schiller and Elaine Muchmore

In the Next Accreditation System, the evaluation of trainees and programs has changed such that there are specific achievement goals and outcomes for both. The distinct concepts that the trainee needs to know in the epidemiology, clinical presentation, evaluation and management of acute myelogenous leukemia allow for adapting these achievement goals into a specific set of skills that match the major curricular milestones in Hematology/Oncology. We intend to demonstrate how knowledge and management skills acquired in the study of AML may be utilized to assess several domains of knowledge and skills of the trainee in the current accreditation system.
