Description
Summary:This article discusses subspecialty Canadian neurosurgeons’ perceptions of entrustable professional activities (EPAs) assessments and variabilities prior to the implementation of the Competence by Design (CBD) system in Canada. Vascular neurosurgeons were asked to reflect on how they would evaluate and give feedback to neurosurgery residents concerning the EPA “Performing surgery for patients with an intracranial aneurysm.” Interviews were transcribed and analyzed using a deductive approach. Themes were derived from these interviews and reflected on the subjectivity and biases present in the EPA assessment forms. Indeed, faculty may require more training in the transitioning to a CBD evaluation system.
