Published: Reading: 1 min

Topic overview

This article introduces Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) as an assessment framework for pediatric surgery training. EPAs allow evaluation of trainee competence in authentic clinical settings, representing an emerging approach to competency-based surgical education that is gaining adoption across medical specialties.

Key takeaways

  • EPAs assess trainee competence in real-world clinical contexts, not just theoretical knowledge.
  • EPAs are increasingly used across medical specialties but remain underutilized in pediatric surgery.
  • EPAs enable supervisors to determine when trainees can perform tasks independently with appropriate oversight.
