Entrustable Professional Activities: Correlation of Entrustment Assessments of Pediatric Residents With Concurrent Subcompetency Milestones Ratings.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In competency-based medical education, subcompetency milestones represent a theoretical stepwise description for a resident to move from the level of novice to expert. Despite their ubiquitous use in the assessment of residents, they were not designed for that purpose. Because entrustable professional activities (EPAs) require observable behaviors, they could serve as a potential link between clinical observation of residents and competency-based assessment.

Objective

We hypothesized that global faculty-of-resident entrustment ratings would correlate with concurrent subcompetency milestones-based assessments.

Methods

This prospective study evaluated the correlation between concurrent entrustment assessments and subcompetency milestones ratings. Pediatric re
