EPA Project – Feedback Needed!
The Education Committee invites you to partake in the continued development of the Entrustable Professional Activities (EPA) for AEMUS fellows!
We appreciate your input in the critique of the EPAs through the use of the EQual rubric. The EQual rubric was designed to assess the essential characteristics that each EPA must fulfill:
1. Each EPA represents discrete units of work (no overlap with other EPAs)
2. Each EPA represents an essential component of the task of the profession
3. Each EPA provides educational and curricular guidance. We recommend reviewing all of the EPAs at least once prior to completing the EQual rubric surveys.
