Associations Between Residency Program Size and Readiness for Unsupervised Practice in Pediatrics
Objective
This study sought to determine differences in program-reported entrustable professional activity (EPA) entrustment-supervision levels based on residency program size.
Methods
At the end of the 2021 to 2022, 2022 to 2023, and 2023 to 2024 academic years, entrustment-supervision levels for the 17 General Pediatrics EPAs were determined by clinical competency committees for graduating pediatric residents at 48 pediatrics residency programs. Programs were categorized as small, medium, large, and very large. The authors fitted a main-effects mixed-effects logistic regression model to predict the likelihood that a graduating resident was deemed ready to execute each EPA without supervision, with program size and EPA as fixed effects and program as a random effect. A second model also included the interaction between program size and EPA as a predictor.
Results
A total of 33,335 entrustment-supervision levels were reported for 2285 graduating pediatrics residents. Small programs were more likely to report residents as ready for unsupervised practice than multiple larger-sized program groups for 4 EPAs (health screening, well newborn, recognize/refer surgical problems, and manage information).
Conclusions
Characteristics of small programs may lead them to be more likely to entrust graduating residents with unsupervised practice in certain areas.
期刊介绍:
Academic Pediatrics, the official journal of the Academic Pediatric Association, is a peer-reviewed publication whose purpose is to strengthen the research and educational base of academic general pediatrics. The journal provides leadership in pediatric education, research, patient care and advocacy. Content areas include pediatric education, emergency medicine, injury, abuse, behavioral pediatrics, holistic medicine, child health services and health policy,and the environment. The journal provides an active forum for the presentation of pediatric educational research in diverse settings, involving medical students, residents, fellows, and practicing professionals. The journal also emphasizes important research relating to the quality of child health care, health care policy, and the organization of child health services. It also includes systematic reviews of primary care interventions and important methodologic papers to aid research in child health and education.
