Entrustable professional activity-aligned workplace-based assessments in the emergency department: perceptions of emergency medicine residents and assessors.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Workplace-based assessment (WBA) plays a crucial role in assessing entrustable professional activities (EPAs) in the competency-based medical education era. This pilot study explored the perceptions of residents and assessors of two WBAs for three Korean Society of Emergency Medicine EPAs.

Methods

Eight emergency medicine (EM) residents underwent WBAs, with mini-clinical evaluation exercises (mini-CEX) conducted by nine EM faculty members and multisource feedback (MSF) provided by two internal medicine faculty members and four emergency room nurses, for a total of 69 assessments. We conducted an anonymous online survey to gather feedback on experiences, perceptions, and recommendations for improving WBA, such as mini-CEX and MSF, with responses scored on a 5-point
