Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Healthcare Professions Training
  • Competency-Based Assessment

Background:

  • Olle ten Cate introduced Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) in 2005 for medical trainee assessment.
  • EPAs are now integral to competency-based education across diverse healthcare fields.
  • The concept of trust, central to EPAs, aligns with clinical practice and risk management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the evolution and impact of Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) in healthcare education.
  • To highlight the significance of trust and entrustability in professional development.
  • To position EPAs as a practical framework for assessing trainees.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of EPAs in competency-based postgraduate training.
  • Analysis of the concept of trust in clinical and educational contexts.
  • Examination of the adoption of EPAs across various healthcare professions.

Main Results:

  • EPAs have been adopted in medicine, pharmacy, nursing, dentistry, veterinary dietetics, and physician assistant programs.
  • The terms 'entrustable' and 'entrustability' were coined but built upon the existing concept of trust.
  • Trust operates at interpersonal, social, and organizational levels within healthcare.

Conclusions:

  • The language of trust and entrustability provides a more authentic and practical vocabulary than competency alone.
  • EPAs offer a valuable framework for assessing and developing healthcare professionals.
  • The widespread adoption of EPAs signifies their importance in modern medical education.
