Minimum Supervision Levels Required by Program Directors for Pediatric Pulmonary Fellow Graduation.

ABSTRACT: Background: Entrustable professional activities (EPAs) define the essential tasks expected of subspecialists in unsupervised practice. Although EPAs have been piloted in some programs, their use for summative assessment of pediatric pulmonology fellows for graduation has not been studied. Objective: To determine the minimum level of supervision that pediatric pulmonary program directors (PDs) require of their fellows for graduation and compare it with the minimum level of supervision they expect for a practicing subspecialist for the five pediatric pulmonology EPAs. Methods: Using a modified Delphi approach, we developed supervision scales for the five pediatric pulmonology EPAs and conducted a national survey of pediatric pulmonary PDs in the United States through the
