Framing our Expectations: Variability in Entrustable Professional Activity Assessments
Both trainees and attending surgeons were able to identify high- and low-performing residents on short video demonstrations using the ABS EPA entrustment scale. This provides additional evidence in support of the need for frequent observations of EPAs to account for the variability in raters' perceptions in addition to complexity of clinical scenarios. Frame-of-reference training via a video-based platform may also be beneficial for both residents and faculty as an ongoing EPA implementation strategy.
