Abstract

Entrustable professional activities (EPAs) represent tasks or responsibilities to be entrusted to the unsupervised execution by a trainee. This review describes the evolutionary state and current implementation of EPAs in American dental education, both on post-doctoral and pre-doctoral levels. Few residencies have incorporated the EPAs on the curriculum, and only one American dental school to date has graduated dentists under an EPAs-based curriculum. This process involved not only curriculum but structural changes and adaptations to the standards of the Commission of Dental Accreditation (CODA). This review also comments on a national effort to adopt EPAs as standard for dental curricula.

可信赖的专业活动如何塑造美国牙科教育的未来？

可委托的专业活动（EPAs）是指将任务或责任委托给受训人员在无人监督的情况下执行。这篇综述描述了EPAs在美国牙科教育中的发展状态和目前的实施情况，包括博士后和博士前水平。很少有住院医师将EPAs纳入课程，到目前为止，只有一所美国牙科学校的牙医在EPAs基础课程下毕业。这一过程不仅涉及课程，而且涉及结构变化和适应牙科认证委员会（CODA）的标准。这篇综述也评论了国家努力采用epa作为标准的牙科课程。
