Summary
This study developed and validated 14 entrustable professional activities (EPAs) for first-year anesthesia residents. These EPAs will guide curriculum development and workplace assessment in residency programs.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Anesthesiology Residency Training
Background:
- Competency-based education in clinical settings requires effective assessment tools.
- Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) offer a framework to bridge the gap between educational theory and clinical practice.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and validate EPAs for United States (US) first-year clinical anesthesia (CA-1) residents.
- To provide a basis for curriculum development and workplace assessment in anesthesiology residency programs.
Main Methods:
- A modified Delphi consensus process was used with an expert panel.
- EPAs were abstracted from existing literature.
- An 80% consensus rate determined the acceptance of EPAs.
Main Results:
- A final list of 28 EPAs was established.
- 14 EPAs (50%) were deemed applicable to the CA-1 residency year.
Conclusions:
- The developed EPAs are appropriate for workplace-based assessment.
- The study ensures the EPAs support entrustment decision-making in residency training.
