Abstract:
In 2018, Canadian post-graduate Emergency Medicine (EM) programs transitioned to Competence-by-Design. Residents are now assessed using Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs). We developed and implemented simulation for assessment to mitigate anticipated challenges with residents completing the required number of observations of resuscitation-based EPAs. Our survey of trainees who participated in these sessions suggests that it may be a feasible and acceptable method for EPA assessment.
