Video Summary
The video presented by Heather Baer, a product of the EPA OPA Subcommittee, explores "Entrustable Professional Activities" (EPAs) and "Observable Practice Activities" (OPAs) in medical education. EPAs, developed to enhance clinical practice assessment, consolidate multiple competencies that align with real-world healthcare delivery scenarios, addressing challenges posed by milestone-based competencies. EPAs, defined as trustable units of professional practice, represent tasks a competent learner can be trusted to execute. OPAs, serving as detailed subsets, provide clarity and focus during assessments.<br /><br />The video outlines the mapping of EPAs/OPAs to core competencies and milestones, facilitating easier evaluation and meeting accreditation requirements. Through examples, the concept of varying supervision levels—observer to mastery—is demonstrated, showcasing practical applications within clinical settings. The committee encourages engagement and feedback for further integration and refinement of these assessment tools, aiming to reduce faculty burden while ensuring effective training and evaluation of medical residents and fellows.
