Abstract:
Objective:To construct an entrustable professional activities (EPAs) assessment framework for undergraduate medical students suited to the national conditions in China.Methods:The Delphi method was used to construct an EPAs assessment framework for medical undergraduates. Twenty-one clinical experts across China were invited to participate in two rounds of Delphi consultation.Results:All the 21 experts completed the two rounds of Delphi consultation. The effective questionnaire response rates of the two rounds of consultation were 100.0% (21/21). For the first-round expert consultation, the W values of importance and feasibility scores of EPAs were 0.182 and 0.173 (both P<0.05), respectively. For the second-round expert consultation, the W values of importance and feasibility scores of EPAs were 0.167 and 0.152 (both P<0.05), respectively. According to the second-round Delphi consultation, the importance and feasibility scores of all 14 EPAs indicators were >3.5 points, with the coefficients of variation <0.25 points. We preliminarily established 12 EPAs indicators and 42 key assessment points and determined the expected entrustment levels of each EPA at different stages for medical undergraduates. Conclusion:This study preliminarily constructed an EPAs assessment framework for medical undergraduates, which provides a new evaluation method for the cultivation of medical undergraduates in China.
