Assessment Considerations for Core Entrustable Professional Activities for Entering Residency
The Journal of the American Osteopathic Association
|March 28, 2018
Summary
This study compiled a database of assessment tools for medical education to aid osteopathic schools in developing valid and reliable entrustable professional activities (EPAs) assessments.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Assessment Strategies
- Osteopathic Medicine
Background:
- Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) require valid and reliable assessment strategies.
- Challenges exist in developing effective EPA assessment methods in medical education.
Purpose of the Study:
- To create a database of assessment tools for osteopathic medical schools.
- To support the development and implementation of evidence-based assessment methods for EPAs.
Main Methods:
- Searched MEDLINE, ERIC, PubMed, and other databases.
- Used MeSH keywords to identify articles on assessment tools for EPAs 1 through 6.
- Conducted content analysis on 55 selected publications.
Main Results:
- 55 publications were analyzed for assessment tools.
- Most studies were in undergraduate or graduate medical education.
- The majority of articles focused on EPA 2 (16) and EPA 4 (15) competencies.
Conclusions:
- Osteopathic medical schools can utilize this database for EPA-specific assessment planning.
- The database assists in creating assessment plans tailored to institutional needs.
- Facilitates the development of robust, evidence-based assessment methods for EPAs.

01:11Enteric Nervous System: Regulation of GI Motor Activity
1.9K
The Enteric Nervous System (ENS) plays a pivotal role in regulating gastrointestinal or GI motor activity. This complex network of nerves, deeply embedded within the gut wall, responds to changes in the gut environment and receives input from both the autonomic nervous system and the central nervous system. By doing so, the ENS operates various programs tailored to the body's nutritional status and needs.

01:29Professional Values
10.8K
Nurses are responsible for caring for patients during birth, death, illness, and healing. Professional values guide the decisions and actions that nurses make in their careers. If nurses know the decisions and actions to take, providing patients with exceptional care is possible.
The values that are the foundation of the nursing profession are altruism, autonomy, human dignity, and social justice.
First, altruism refers to the concern for the welfare and well-being of others without personal...

01:22The Professional Nurse
6.7K
Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.

02:10The Nucleosome Core Particle
14.6K
Nucleosomes are the DNA-histone complex, where the DNA strand is wound around the histone core. The histone core is an octamer containing two copies of H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 histone proteins.
The paradox
Nucleosomes, paradoxically, perform two opposite functions simultaneously. On the one hand, their main responsibility is to protect the delicate DNA strands from physical damage and help achieve a higher compaction ratio. While on the other hand, they must allow polymerase enzymes to access DNA...

01:22Design Consideration
586
Designing a structure involves a series of considerations, primarily the material's ultimate strength, calculated through tests that measure changes under increased force until the material reaches its breaking point or limit. The ultimate load, where the material breaks, is divided by its original cross-sectional area, resulting in the ultimate normal stress or strength. The ultimate shearing stress is another significant factor taken into account.
