E5: Core Entrustable Professional Activities for Entering Residency: A National Survey of Graduating Medical Student Self-Assessed Skills by Specialty

In this episode, Dr Coleman is joined by Dorothy Andriole, MD, FACS, who is a surgeon and the Senior Director of Medical Education Research at the Association of American Medical Colleges, and Jonathan Amiel, MD, who is a professor of psychiatry and Senior Associate Dean for Innovation in Health Professions Education at Columbia University. They discuss their recent study, which found that many graduating students intending to enter surgery agreed they had skills to perform some, although not all, Core Entrustable Professional Activities for Entering Residency. Continued efforts to prepare graduates more optimally for the start of residency training are warranted.
