Identifying entrustable professional activities for post-graduation in ENT: What should an ENT specialist be able to do?

ABSTRACT:

Background

Though regulatory bodies of medical education in India mandate post graduate medical education to be competency based, the implementation of the same has not kept pace. The present study aims to develop and propose a set of entrustable professional activities for a masters degree in the discipline of ENT. It also attempts to present it in the form of a portfolio.

Methods

Experts in the subject went through a series of activities including brainstorming, discussions and internal peer review to shortlist and enumerate EPAs.

Results

335 EPAs were identified and are presented. They were further classified as per need and expected expertise.

Conclusion

The EPAs may serve as a guideline to medical colleges/institutions aiming to adopt competency based medical education in the post graduate curriculum in the subject of ENT.

Project description:PurposeAs global health education and training shift toward competency-based approaches, academic institutions and organizations must define appropriate assessment strategies for use across health professions. The authors aim to develop entrustable professional activities (EPAs) for global health to apply across academic and workplace settings.MethodIn 2019, the authors invited 55 global health experts from medicine, nursing, pharmacy, and public health to participate in a multiround, online Delphi process; 30 (55%) agreed. Experts averaged 17 years of global health experience, and 12 (40%) were from low- to middle-income countries. In round one, participants listed essential global health activities. The authors used in vivo coding for round one responses to develop initial EPA statements. In subsequent rounds, participants used 5-point Likert-type scales to evaluate EPA statements for importance and relevance to global health across health professions. The authors elevated statements that were rated 4 (important/relevant to most) or 5 (very important/relevant to all) by a minimum of 70% of participants (decided a priori) to the final round, during which participants evaluated whether each statement represented an observable unit of work that could be assigned to a trainee. Descriptive statistics were used for quantitative data analysis. The authors used participant comments to categorize EPA statements into role domains.ResultsTwenty-two EPA statements reached at least 70% consensus. The authors categorized these into 5 role domains: partnership developer, capacity builder, data analyzer, equity advocate, and health promoter. Statements in the equity advocate and partnership developer domains had the highest agreement for importance and relevance. Several statements achieved 100% agreement as a unit of work but achieved lower levels of agreement regarding their observability.ConclusionsEPAs for global health may be useful to academic institutions and other organizations to guide the assessment of trainees within education and training programs across health professions.
