E-ASSESS: Creating an EPA Assessment Tool for Structured Simulated Emergency Scenarios.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The entrustable professional activity (EPA) assessment framework allows supervisors to assign entrustment levels to physician trainees for specific activities. Limited opportunity for direct observation of trainees hampers entrustment decisions, in particular for infrequently performed activities. Simulation allows for direct observation, so tools to assess performance of EPAs in simulation could potentially provide additional data to complement clinical assessments.

Objective

We developed and collected validity evidence for a simulation-based tool grounded in the EPA framework.

Methods

We developed E-ASSESS (EPA Assessment for Structured Simulated Emergency ScenarioS) to assess performance in 2 EPAs among pediatric residents participating in simulation-bas
