Comprehensive Model for Evaluation of Surgical EPAs

Plain-language summary

Introduction. Competency-based medical education (CBME) frameworks have become increasingly prevalent among surgical education accreditation bodies. Medical schools, postgraduate training programs, and licensing bodies conduct assessments to certify the competence of future practitioners, and judge the adequacy of training programs. Methods. A prospective cohort study was designed to evaluate clinical-surgical competencies in all residents of a general surgery program. All medical residents of the general surgery program of the Faculty of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at the Autonomous University of Chihuahua, were video recorded with consent, in the field (Outpatient consultation, Surgical ward, Inpatient room, Classroom), for posterior evaluation by the professors of the program with electronic rubrics made with Google forms.
