Abstract

Introduction: Entrustable professional activities (EPAs) are one way to assess competencies, and are designed to bridge the gap between theoretical competencies and real world clinical practice.

Aims: This was a systematic review which aims to answer the question: "Which EPAs related to Emergency Medicine are described for medical schools?".

Methods: We included original qualitative, interventional and observational studies (cross-sectional, case-control, and cohort studies) that described EPAs relevant to Emergency Medicine for Medical School. The search strategy was created using a combination of keywords and standardized index terms related to EPAs and Emergency Medicine.

Results: The search strategy identified 991 citations. After screening the titles and abstracts, we identified 85 potentially relevant studies. After the full-text review, a total of 11 reports met the criteria for inclusion.

Conclusion: Recognizing a patient requiring urgent or emergent care and initiating evaluation and management is the most common EPA related to Emergency Medicine described at Medical Schools. Use of EPAs is associated with increased student satisfaction and improved competences. However, there is a lack of undergraduate EM specific EPAs being systematically developed and published, and this should be an area to be explored in future studies.

受托专业活动、急诊医学和医学教育：系统回顾。

导言：委托专业活动（EPA）是评估能力的一种方式，旨在弥补理论能力与实际临床实践之间的差距："目的：这是一篇系统性综述，旨在回答以下问题："哪些与急诊医学相关的 EPAs 为医学院校所描述？我们纳入了描述医学院急诊医学相关 EPA 的原始定性、干预和观察研究（横断面、病例对照和队列研究）。检索策略采用了与 EPAs 和急诊医学相关的关键词和标准化索引词的组合：结果：该搜索策略发现了 991 篇引文。在对标题和摘要进行筛选后，我们确定了 85 项潜在的相关研究。全文审阅后，共有 11 篇报告符合纳入标准：认识到患者需要紧急或急诊护理并启动评估和管理是医学院中最常见的与急诊医学相关的 EPA。使用 EPA 与提高学生满意度和能力有关。然而，目前还没有系统地开发和发布针对急诊科本科生的EPA，这应该是未来研究中需要探索的一个领域。
