What can we expect from medical graduates? Empirical survey on the performance of Core EPAs in the first days of residency.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Core Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) have been defined to specify the performance expectations for entering residents worldwide. The content of these EPAs was elaborated and validated primarily via medical expert consent approaches. The present study aims to collect empirical information on the actual task performance and supervision level of entering residents as a complementary methodological approach to enhance the content validity of a set of institutional EPAs.
