Establishing Milestones for Facial Injectables in Plastic Surgery Residency Training: Four-Year Follow-Up

The Milestone Project was established by the American Council of Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) in an effort to provide a framework for Clinical Competency Committees, guide curriculum development, and support assessment practices at residency training programs.¹ The milestones are designed to provide residents with performance standards, facilitate and guide self-directed learning, and direct feedback for professional development.¹ The Plastic Surgery Milestone Project established milestones for 18 core areas.² While milestones were established in a number of key areas, such as head and neck, maxillofacial trauma, and facial aesthetics, specific milestones were not established for measuring facial injectables skills and knowledge.
