EPAs are being used in various specialty programs and serving as valuable tool to inform educational program. However, due to disparities in professional practice between different contexts, the automatic transfer of a set of core EPAs is not feasible. Hence, our study aims to develop an EPA framework to inform the Family Planning and Reproductive Health Fellowship Program in the local context of Ethiopia.<br/><strong>Methods:</strong> We employed an exploratory mixed-method design, which involved the collection of qualitative data using the Nominal Group Technique and quantitative data through a nationwide survey in all residency training institutions across the country. Qualitative data analysis involved several steps, including compiling a list of tasks, removing duplicate tasks, reviewing EPAs using criteria and an equal rubric tool. For quantitative data analysis, descriptive statistics, validity index analysis, and intra-class correlation coefficients, were used.<br/><strong>Results:</strong> Seven senior panelists were able to propose a total of 57 EPAs, with 17 remaining after qualitative data analysis. The panelist evaluated the relevance of each EPA in the second phase. As a result, 17 EPAs received a content validity index of &gt; 0.83, indicating satisfactory relevance. In the national survey, experts reached a high level of final agreement regarding the relevance and representativeness of all 17 EPAs (ICC = 0.815, 95% CI [0.0.756,0.865], p.0001).<br/><strong>Conclusion:</strong> The final set of 17 end-of-training EPAs is valid, acceptable and representative of the discipline, and they can be used as a framework to inform Family planning and Reproductive Health Fellowship Program in Ethiopian medical education once these core EPA statements are described in sufficient detail.

However, there is extensive evidence that person-centered approaches to patient engagement, such as motivational interviewing (MI), are associated both with better outcomes for patients and improved well-being for clinicians.<br/><strong>Methods:</strong> We conducted an exploratory survey study to ascertain whether resident physicians who perceive that they embrace and utilize the MI approach also report less burnout. A total of 318 residents in several specialties were invited via email to complete a 10-question survey about patient engagement and the experience of burnout. Frequencies and percentages were calculated for all categorical/ordinal variables to describe survey participants and question responses. Correlation coefficients were obtained to assess relationships between all burnout and engagement questions.<br/><strong>Results:</strong> A total of 79 residents completed the survey (response rate of 24.8%). There was broad agreement about the importance of patient engagement and the use of the MI approach, and approximately 60% of residents indicated that burnout was a problem. Two items related to residents’ perceived use of MI were correlated with feeling a sense of personal accomplishment, one of the protective factors against burnout.<br/><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Consistent with other studies indicating that person-centered approaches are associated both with better patient outcomes and provider wellbeing, our data suggest that residents’ self-reported use of the MI approach in patient care may be related to less burnout. It appears that training in the MI approach in graduate medical education may be simultaneously good for patient outcomes and good for resident well-being.<br/><br/><strong>Plain Language Summary:</strong> Teaching resident physicians how to take care of their own health, and how to help patients take more responsibility for their health, are typically viewed as two separate challenges. However, studies have shown that patient-centered approaches have benefits both for patient health and clinician health. In our survey of resident physicians, we found that those who say they use motivational interviewing, a patient-centered approach, also report less burnout. This means that teaching resident physicians an effective way to interact with patients is also good for the trainees’ health.<br/><br/>","PeriodicalId":47404,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Medical Education and Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140098409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This has the potential to create stress for the supervisor and reduce quality of student learning. Peer learning as a pedagogical framework to supervise multiple students has been widely shown to have advantages for the students by developing teaching skills, team collaboration, and independence. However, whether peer learning impacts the characteristics of supervision and the experience of the supervisor is less understood. It is unknown whether wards that use peer learning as a pedagogical framework (peer learning wards) are any different compared to wards that do not (non-peer learning wards), from the supervisor’s perspective.<br/><strong>Methods:</strong> We aimed to develop and pilot test a questionnaire to compare peer-learning wards and non-peer learning wards from the supervisor’s perspective. We used the AMEE 7-step guide to develop questions investigating supervision, the learning environment and satisfaction. We piloted the questionnaire with 46 nurse supervisors working on inpatient hospital wards in Stockholm, Sweden. We compared answers from peer learning with non-peer learning wards. We used Orthogonal Projections to Latent Structures (OPLS) discriminant analysis to show what differed between the wards.<br/><strong>Results:</strong> Peer learning wards compared to non-peer learning wards had more student-centred activities, the physical space had more adaptations for students, more support available to the supervisor, and supervisors perceived greater overall satisfaction with the quality of education and with the ward as a whole. The variables that had most influence on the discrimination between the two ward types related to peer learning activities and perceptions (p=0.0034).<br/><strong>Conclusion:</strong> This pilot study shows that peer learning wards differ compared to non-peer learning wards regarding peer learning activities and perceptions among supervisors.
