title: A stitch in time saves nine: intervention strategies for the remediation of competency.
abstract: The mission of medical educators in all fields is to perfect the science and the art of training competent physicians and the next generation of leaders. To do this, outcomes research regarding effective training and supervision techniques and curricula, the optimal educational environment, assessment, and remediation of competency is needed. It is incumbent upon training directors to continue to provide the primary leadership for the field of training. The areas that are ripe for research and development include effective curricula, effective evaluation and remediation of competency, and leadership skill development. As medicine becomes more complex, so does the task of training physicians. Joint monitoring and outcomes research of the training enterprise are the scholarly and academic missions of the present and the future.
