Development of an Entrustable Professional Activities (EPA) Framework to Inform Surgical Residency Training Programs in Ethiopia: A Three-round National Delphi Method Study

Abstract

The framework of 29 validated and accepted EPAs can guide future surgical residency training programs in the Ethiopian medical education context. The framework allows programs to move from a time-dependent to an outcome-based model and transforms traditional assessment into entrustment decisions. Thus, the use of the framework can improve the quality of training and patient care in Ehtiopia.
