Abstract

Standardized training for residents emphasizes competency-based medical education, but the existing competency framework has many Entrustable professional activities is to evaluate the comprehensive ability of the residents in the daily workplace with the key clinical behaviors familiar to the faculty and the residents as the carrier. Entrustable professional activities has a clear step-by-step training goal, which is helpful for the residents to regulate their time for autonomous learning and standardize their professional activities. Through the corresponding relationship between entrustable professional activities and competency, we can deduce the competency of the residents and provide targeted feedback and guidance.This paper discusses the relationship between the entrustable professional activities and the competency of residents, so as to provide a new evaluation model for standardized training for residents and better evaluation of the competency of residents.

Key words： Entrustable professional activities; Competency; Residents; Postgraduate education
