Presentation
Implementation of Entrustable Professional Activities for Training in Neurocritical Care
DescriptionEntrustable professional activities (EPAs), which are tasks or responsibilities to be entrusted to an individual who has attained sufficient, specific competence, have been proposed as a useful concept in both neurology education and advanced practice provider (APP) post-graduate training. Unique neurocritical care EPAs have recently been developed for neurology resident neurocritical care education in Germany as well as for APPs who are new to neurocritical care practice in the United States. Now that these EPAs have been defined, what’s next?
This session will first provide an overview of why leaders and educators in neurocritical care might consider implementing EPAs for providers at their institutions. The presentation will describe the potential benefits of applying the EPA framework for structuring neurocritical care training curricula (with a focus on APP onboarding) and advantages of EPA-based assessments, which are simple to construct and interpret. This session will then turn to offering practical tips for implementing EPA-based curricula and assessments. By the end of the session, participants will have the tools to begin to develop these curricula and assessments for providers at their institutions.
