(En)trust me: Validating an assessment rubric for documenting clinical encounters during a surgery clerkship clinical skills exam - 11/02/20
, Jesse S. Moore b , Peter W. Callas c , Cate Nicholas d , Michael Hulme e Abstract |
Background |
The AAMC developed 13 Core Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) for graduating medical students. EPA 5 is: Document a clinical encounter in the patient record. Our goal was to develop an assessment rubric and gather evidence to support its validity in measuring progress towards entrustability.
Methods |
A rubric was developed for EPA 5. During the 2017 surgery clerkship, 57 students wrote a note for each of two standardized patient (SP) encounters. These notes were prospectively collected and assessed by two physician raters. Messick's validity framework was used to gather validity data.
Results |
Inter-rater reliability with two raters was excellent, ICC = 0.86 (ICC 95%, confidence interval (CI) 0.80–0.90) for overall note score. Correlation between note items and SP checklists ranged 0.39–0.46 (p < 0.05) and between note items and clinical evaluations 0.28–0.39 (p < 0.05).
Conclusions |
There is initial reliability evidence supporting the use of our rubric for assessing progress towards entrustability of EPA 5.
