Milestones in Plastic Surgery: Attending Assessment versus Resident Assessment

Conclusions: Overall, resident and faculty evaluations at the authors’ program were concordant, which demonstrates that residents are capable of accurately assessing their own abilities and understanding the milestones framework. Areas of discordance between resident and faculty evaluations fostered discussion between residents and faculty and have led to multiple changes in the authors’ program. The introduction of self-evaluation tools at other programs may provide them with similar benefits.
