Entrustable Professional Activities Training

The Center for Innovative Pharmacy Education and Research (CIPhER) will host a “Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) for Health Professions Training.”  Entrustable professional activities (EPAs) are units of professional practice that may be entrusted to learners once they have demonstrated to have mastered all competencies to perform patient care safely. EPAs were created, in part, to bridge the gap between well-elaborated competency frameworks and healthcare practice in patient care. General competencies, such as adequate communication skills, professionalism and collaboration skills remain critically important and must be evaluated, but they serve to inform the key objectives of training: the professional activities.

This presentation will provide backgrounds of this EPA thinking and will put the use of EPAs in the wider perspective of the continuum of health professions education.
