Use of entrustable professional activities for reliable overall entrustment decisions
This study provides rich insight into the number of EPAs needed to make reliable entrustment decisions about resident readiness to provide patient care. Although readiness can be determined with as few as 9 general pediatrics EPAs (an assessment task), more may be needed to inform a comprehensive curriculum that ensures focus in all areas important to developing general pediatricians during residency training (a curricular task).
