Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Health Professions Education
  • Professional Development

Background:

  • Entrustable professional activities (EPAs) and entrustment decision-making are increasingly adopted in health professions education.
  • This rapid uptake risks confusion due to inconsistent terminology.
  • A clear, shared language is needed for effective implementation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To clarify terminology related to entrustment in health professions education.
  • To establish logical consistency in the use of these terms.
  • To provide a foundation for consistent interpretation and implementation.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review to identify and define key terms.
  • Analysis of existing literature to establish logical consistency.
  • Proposal of definitions for core concepts.

Main Results:

  • A comprehensive list of proposed definitions is provided, including terms such as independence, autonomy, supervision, trustworthiness, trust, entrustment, entrustable professional activity, and entrustment decision.
  • Definitions aim to establish logical consistency in the use of entrustment-related language.
  • The study identifies a broad range of terms requiring clarification.

Conclusions:

  • A shared understanding of entrustment terminology is critical for medical and health professions education.
  • Consistent language strengthens the connection between undergraduate education, graduate medical education, and continuing professional development.
  • Establishing a common lexicon is foundational for consistent interpretation and implementation across the educational continuum.
