Alignment of workplace-based assessments (WPBA) with core entrustable professional activities (EPAs) for entering residency may provide opportunities to monitor student progress across the continuum of undergraduate medical education. Core EPAs, however, reflect tasks of varying degrees of difficulty and faculty assessors are not accustomed to rating students based on entrustability. Expectations of student progress should vary depending on the complexity of the tasks associated with the EPAs. An assessment tool that orients evaluators to the developmental progression of specific EPA tasks will be critical to fairly evaluate learners. The authors developed an EPA assessment tool combining the frameworks of Professionalism, Reporter, Interpreter, Manager, Educator (PRIME), and Modified Ottawa coactivity scales. Only those EPAs that could be repeatedly observed and assessed across clinical clerkships were included. From July 2019 to March 2020, third-year medical students across multiple clerkships were assessed using this tool. The authors hypothesized that if the tool was applied correctly, ratings of learner independence would be lower with higher complexity tasks and that such ratings would increase over the course of year with ongoing clinical learning. Assessment data for 247 medical students were similar across clerkships suggesting that evaluators in diverse clinical contexts were able to use this tool to assign scores reflective of developing entrustability in the workplace. Faculty rated student entrustability highest in skills emphasized in the pre-clerkship curriculum (professionalism and reporter) and progressively lower in more advanced skills (interpreter and manager). Students’ ratings increased over time with more clinical exposure. The authors developed a composite WBPA tool that combines the frameworks of EPAs, PRIME, and Modified Ottawa Co- Activity and demonstrated the usability of applying it for learner assessments in clinical settings. Further multicenter studies with cohorts of pre- and post-clerkship students may provide additional validity evidence for the tool.
