Entrustable professional activities (EPAs) are a recent enhancement to competency-based health professional education that describe the work done by a competent health professional. They have been used primarily in postgraduate medical education but are gaining acceptance in undergraduate health professional education as well. The main motivations for using EPAs include improving patient safety and student assessment.
Entrustable professional activities (EPAs) are a recent enhancement to competency-based health professional education that describe the observable work done by a competent health professional. Through defining education outcomes in a work-based context, EPAs offer potential to identify skill gaps in individual or student cohorts and focus improvements. Entrustable professional activities have been pioneered and gained rapid acceptance in postgraduate medical education; however, less is known about their application and use in undergraduate or entry-level health professional education. The Joanna Briggs Institute scoping review methodology was used to explore how and in what context EPAs are being used in entry-level health professional education. Databases searched include CINAHL, EMBASE, MEDLINE, Web of Science and PsycINFO. A total of 748 abstracts were returned after duplicates removed, and 127 full-text articles were screened with 30 included for data extraction. Publications in this area have recently accelerated with disciplines of professions of medicine, pharmacy, dietetics and physician assistants reporting on EPA development, implementation and evaluation. EPA use has been reported in the United States, Canada, Europe Australia and Central America. Major motivation reported for EPA use is to improve patient safety by aligning performance and expectations and to improve student assessment. Several studies report on the use of EPAs to evaluate different curriculum models or identify curriculum gaps representing potential application in education research.
