TORRES, Camilo et al. Determination of entrustable professional activities at a school of medicine in Chile. FEM (Ed. impresa) [online]. 2021, vol.24, n.2, pp.73-76.  Epub 17-Mayo-2021. ISSN 2014-9840.  https://dx.doi.org/10.33588/fem.242.1113.

Introduction:

The current conception of competence considers them as complex skills that students will develop during their training, which does not necessarily translate into a concrete work action, generating uncertainty in teaching, learning and evaluation. Entrustable professional activities (EPAs) are defined as a unit of professional practice that can be fully entrusted to an apprentice, as soon as he or she has demonstrated the necessary competence to carry out this activity with increasing levels of autonomy.

Aim:

To determine the EPAs that general practitioners trained in the Diego Portales University should carry out at the end of their academic training.

Subjects and methods:

A qualitative approach was used, the population included were medical interns, clinical tutors and alumni. Ten semi-structured interviews with teachers and alumni, and one focus group with medical interns. Comparative-constant analysis was performed until the axial categories were determined.

Results:

The resulting EPAs were the following: to perform clinical care; to manage patients with medical emergencies; to carry out clinical prevention and promotion actions; to execute the necessary diagnostic and therapeutic medical procedures in clinical care; and to articulate the resources involved in patient care.

Conclusion:

The herein identified EPAs showed differences with those described internationally for undergraduate medical education. The framework of these EPAs will allow to give a greater support to the activities of evaluation of the learning in the medical career of the university, diminishing the uncertainty in the teaching and learning.
