A Clinical Competency Committee convenes every other month to review student EPA progress and deem entrustment for them. It is the goal for individual students to reach a level of “Indirect Supervision” on all 13 core EPAs by completion of their core required clerkships. Students are required to complete and be observed on at least 4 EPAs per week. Observations, ratings and comments for each EPA are completed by attending faculty and residents.

Students are assessed within all required clinical clerkships using the 13 core Entrustable Professional Activities (EPA) adopted from the AAMC. These graduates were noted to be better prepared to perform many of the essential tasks of an incoming intern. Recent data indicates that graduates who felt prepared to perform many of the Core EPAs without direct supervision made the transition to residency easier. Ideally, students will perform the Core EPAs consistently in situations of varying complexity as they practice and receive actionable feedback, formulating learning goals for future demonstrations of competence. By using them as a construct for assessment we have an opportunity in undergraduate medical education to develop a new construct toward preparedness and, as an end goal, improvements in patient safety. The EPAs define a shared set of clinical activities that residents are expected to perform on day one of residency. EPAs create an assessment for learning, by providing ongoing, specific and actionable feedback to support the growth and development of a student, future resident and physician. EPAs truly represent the day to day of the work of the physician. Each of the 13 EPAs integrate the competencies which every student must demonstrate to graduate from the University of Minnesota Medical School. They were designed by the AAMC to make formative assessment meaningful in the clinical workplace. EPAs were created to bridge the gap between competency based education and clinical practice. Pass/No-Pass Info Sheet Clinical Elective RotationsĮlective rotations are graded either Honors (H), Excellent (E), Satisfactory (S) and No Pass (N), or No Pass (N), Pass (P).īeginning in the 2021-22 academic year, all students in required clerkships are assessed using Entrustable Professional Activities ( EPAs). For the three year aggregate, an average of 59% received the grade of Honors in the required clerkships, 35% received the grade of Excellent (E) in the required clerkships, 6% received Satisfactory (S) grades, and.

These histograms are derived from the aggregate clerkship grades for the last three full academic years where full H/E/S/N grading was used: 2018-19, 2019-20, and 2020-21.
Histograms are embedded in the MSPEs for students who completed required clerkships prior to the change to No Pass (N), Pass (P) grading for required clerkships. Prior to this all required clerkships were graded Honors (H), Excellent (E), Satisfactory (S) and No Pass (N). The University of Minnesota Medical School moved to No-Pass, Pass grading for required clerkships in the 2021-22 academic year. The clinical curriculum is graded No Pass (N), Pass (P) for required clerkships. A student must accumulate 70% or more of the total points in the course in order to earn a course grade of P (Pass). Grades in preclerkship courses are criterion-referenced, that is, based on a student’s mastery of the material and not comparative to other students in the class. The pre-clinical curriculum at the University of Minnesota Medical School is graded No Pass (N), Pass (P).
