Semiannually, U.S. pediatrics residency programs report resident milestone levels to the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). The Pediatrics Milestones Assessment Collaborative (PMAC) developed workplace-based assessments of 2 inferences. The authors compared learner and program variance in PMAC scores with ACGME milestones.
