The Assessment Burden in Competency-Based Medical Education: How Programs Are Adapting

Adam Szulewski et al.

Summary: This article describes the adaptations made by residency programs in addressing the challenges of assessment in competency-based medical education (CBME), based on the analysis of an early adopter's experience in Canada. Through a standardized Rapid Evaluation and interviews and focus groups, the study identified three themes related to the burden of assessment in CBME and proposed adaptations to address these challenges.

Using learning analytics in clinical competency committees: Increasing the impact of competency-based medical education

Patricia A. Carney et al.

Summary: Graduate medical education and Clinical Competency Committees are using competency-based medical education principles to monitor trainee progression, but evidence suggests that CCCs are not meeting this goal effectively. Challenges include incomplete and conflicting evaluation data, as well as difficulties organizing, analyzing, and integrating data elements. Learning analytics have the potential to improve CCC decision making, but their use is not widespread.

Implementation of Entrustable Professional Activities in General Surgery

Karen J. Brasel et al.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the feasibility and utility of Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) in general surgery resident training. By collecting microassessments on common procedures and activities and utilizing the clinical competency committee's summative entrustment decisions, the study found that widespread implementation of EPAs is possible and graduating residents are entrusted to perform common surgical procedures independently without supervision.

Entrustment Decision Making in the Core Entrustable Professional Activities: Results of a Multi-Institutional Study

David R. Brown et al.

Summary: In 2014, the Association of American Medical Colleges defined 13 Core Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) that all graduating students should be ready to do upon entering residency with indirect supervision. In 2019, a pilot program was conducted involving 10 schools to test the implementation of the Core EPAs framework. Trained entrustment groups (TEGs) were established to review assessment data and make summative entrustment decisions. The results showed that a significant number of students were ready for indirect supervision, but further improvements are needed.

Making prospective entrustment decisions: Knowing limits, seeking help and defaulting

Daniel J. Schumacher et al.

Summary: This study investigates the factors influencing prospective entrustment decisions made by medical education committees. It found that trainees' ability to know their limits and seek help is the foundation of these decisions, but default decisions and lack of sufficient data are common challenges.

Implementation of competence committees during the transition to CBME in Canada: A national fidelity-focused evaluation

Warren J. Cheung et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the fidelity of competence committee implementation in Canadian postgraduate specialist training programs during the transition to competency-based medical education. The results showed heterogeneity in committee size, review of assessment data, and determination of entrustable professional activity achievement, which may contribute to the variable challenges faced by programs during the transition to CBME.

Clinical competency committee perceptions of entrustable professional activities and their value in assessing fellows: A qualitative study of pediatric subspecialty program directors

Melissa L. L. Langhan et al.

Summary: This study examined the composition and processes of Clinical Competency Committees (CCCs) assigning entrustable professional activity (EPA) levels of supervision for pediatric subspecialty fellows, as well as fellowship program director (FPD) perspectives about using EPAs to determine fellows' graduation readiness. The findings revealed significant variability in CCCs across subspecialties, but FPDs found EPAs to be intuitive and relatively easy to implement as a tool for determining graduation readiness.

Does direct observation influence the quality of workplace-based assessment documentation?

Jeffrey M. Landreville et al.

Summary: Observation type (direct or indirect) did not influence the quality of EPA assessment documentation. This finding raises the question of how direct and indirect observation truly differ and the implications for meta-raters such as competence committees responsible for making judgments related to trainee promotion.

Identifying Core Components of EPA Implementation: A Path to Knowing if a Complex Intervention Is Being Implemented as Intended

Carol Carraccio et al.

Summary: The study identified core components for implementing an EPA-based assessment framework using the Delphi process, including performance prediction, shared local mental model, workplace assessment, and more. This helps to better implement the EPA assessment framework intervention, reducing the likelihood of incorrect judgments on intervention outcomes.

Olle ten Cate et al.

Summary: The authors reviewed recent research papers to establish a research and development agenda for EPAs in the coming decade. They identified 3 levels of potential research and development and categorized their recommendations into 14 discrete themes. Future studies should focus on large-scale implementation of EPAs to support CBME and evaluate their impact at various levels.

The Implementation of Entrustable Professional Activities in Postgraduate Medical Education in the Netherlands: Rationale, Process, and Current Status

Jacqueline de Graaf et al.

Summary: Postgraduate medical education in the Netherlands has shifted towards competency-based education, with the introduction of the CanMEDS competency framework and the implementation of entrustable professional activities (EPAs) in specialty programs. A government-funded project by the Dutch Association of Medical Specialists (DAMS) aimed to create more flexibility and individualization in training programs, resulting in a reduction of training length by an average of 3 months.

Competence committees: The steep climb from concept to implementation

Anita Acai et al.

Summary: This study examined the implementation of CCs at a Canadian institution over a 3-year period, highlighting ongoing challenges faced by CCs despite high support from faculty and resident members, such as adapting to program size, optimizing membership, engaging residents, maintaining capacity among members, sharing and aggregating data, and developing a clear mandate. The findings reinforce the importance of resident engagement and information sharing between disciplines, and suggest future research could explore implementation practices across sites and their impact on decision-making outcomes.

Diagnosing conflict: Conflicting data, interpersonal conflict, and conflicts of interest in clinical competency committees

Teresa Chan et al.

Summary: CCCs are increasingly used in health professions education, but conflicts are inevitable. Conflicts may arise from conflicting data submissions, conflicts between committee members, and conflicts of interest between specific committee members and trainees. The authors describe these conflict situations and explore potential solutions based on current literature.
