WBAs in UME-How Many Are Needed? A Reliability Analysis of 5 AAMC Core EPAs Implemented in the Internal Medicine Clerkship.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Reliable assessments of clinical skills are important for undergraduate medical education, trustworthy handoffs to graduate medical programs, and safe, effective patient care. Entrustable professional activities (EPAs) for entering residency have been developed; research is needed to assess reliability of such assessments in authentic clinical workspaces.

Design

A student-driven mobile assessment platform was developed and used for clinical supervisors to record ad hoc entrustment decisions using the modified Ottawa scale on 5 core EPAs in an 8-week internal medicine (IM) clerkship. After a 12-month period, generalizability (G) theory analysis was performed to estimate the reliability of entrustment scores and determine the proportion of variance attributable to t
