Trainers' and trainees' expectations of entrustable professional activities (EPAs) in a primary care training programme.
Education for Primary Care 2018 December 11
Introducing Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) into primary care postgraduate medical education (PGME) programmes may be challenging, due to the general nature of primary care medicine, but trainers and trainees both stand to benefit from their use. We investigated the expectations of trainers and trainees in a primary care PGME programme regarding the use of EPAs. We held two focus group discussions with trainers and four with trainees from the Dutch General Practice training programme, to explore their views on the use of EPAs in their training programme. Focus group discussions were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. The transcripts were analysed using conventional content analysis. Trainers and trainees felt that the large number of EPAs in the training programme, and the general way they are formulated, made them unsuitable for use in formal assessments. However, they felt that EPAs can be a useful aid to trainee learning. EPAs may help trainers to give trainees specific feedback on their performance. While the use of the classic EPA method in primary care PGME programmes may be challenging, EPAs in such programmes might be more suitable as design and learning tools than as a tool for formal assessment.
