Next Accreditation System
The Next Accreditation System (NAS) is an approach used by medical education organizations to evaluate and improve residency programs. Instead of relying solely on periodic exams or checklists, NAS emphasizes continuous, meaningful assessment of residents' skills and competencies through ongoing feedback and data collection. This method aims to better prepare doctors for real-world practice by focusing on their progress over time and ensuring programs meet current healthcare needs. Overall, NAS promotes a more dynamic, transparent, and effective way to develop skilled medical professionals.
