Workplace-based assessments of entrustable professional activities in a psychiatry core clerkship: an observational study.

Background

Entrustable professional activities (EPAs) in competency-based, undergraduate medical education (UME) have led to new formative workplace-based assessments (WBA) using entrustment-supervision scales in clerkships.
