Assessing the Quality of Narrative Feedback in Entrustable Professional Activities Using the EFeCT Feedback Scoring Tool.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Competency-based medical education (CBME) is the cornerstone of undergraduate training in Canada. Entrustable professional activities (EPAs) assess competency in professional tasks, with narrative feedback being a key component. There is currently a lack of published literature on the quality of narrative feedback in EPA observations in undergraduate medical education. This study explores the quality of narrative feedback in EPA observations provided to medical students.
