ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Florida International University Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine (FIU-HWCOM) participated in the AAMC Core Entrustable Professional Activities (EPA) implementation pilot. Entrustment decision processes based on data from workplace-based assessments (WBAs) were piloted. Outcomes illustrated challenges including variability across EPAs with regards to learner level alignment and feasibility of data collection in the form of WBAs. In addition, students reported discomfort requesting WBA completion by preceptors and dissatisfaction with associated feedback.APPROACH:
To guide future directions, we conducted a survey of third-year students to better understand their experience with and perceptions of WBAs used to evaluate EPAs at FIU-HWCOM. EVALUATION Survey response was 96% (n = 107/112). Most (84%) reported that WBAs were not valuable to their development and that preceptors often did not complete WBAs in a timely fashion. Many (47%) reported not receiving verbal feedback. Most students (78%) used language in written responses demonstrating confusion between the EPAs and the WBAs used to assess them. IMPLICATIONS The use of WBAs to assess EPAs did not have its intended impact at FIU-HWCOM. For future classes, WBA forms will consist of paper cards with questions directly assessing performance of skills aligned with EPAs 1, 5 and 6 only. To continue to promote feedback, students will be required to collect WBAs on all clerkships, but the number of required WBAs will be less than prior and no entrustment decisions will be made.
