Part 2 of Presentation

2. 3. Create a mapping template that works for your program
Lots of ways to do this – anything from post it notes to software. Create can also mean ‘adopt’. Borrow / steal Whatever works. Don’t reinvent the wheel.

3. IM sample: Rotations to EPAs
Internal Medicine example: Rotations to EPA’s. Simple Excel spreadsheet. Lists all rotations on vertical, all EPAs on horizontal

4. 4. Map EPAs to existing training experiences
In reality, this will be mostly rotations, but include other experiences if applicable.

5. IM Sample: Rotations to EPAs
Completed by Program leadership in an evening blitz. Multiple X’s indicate high yield opportunity.

6. Reverse: EPAs to Rotations
Reverse mapping – EPA’s to Rotations. At-a-glance view of what’s reasonable to achieve on a given rotation. Created from original EPA map and provided to Rotation Coordinator for review and validation at a workshop. Edits made. Resident champion included in the process at rotation level.

7. 5. Validate the distribution of EPAs across the stages of training
Do your rotations line up with expectations for Stages?

8. Don’t forget to update orientation documents with CBME – EPA information

9. Specific details are really helpful
Specific details are really helpful. Rotation-specific expectations are helpful

10. Year at a Glance
Smaller programs can think about individual mapping.

11. Closer view

12. 7. Build in a review process with the goal of continuous improvement
Thank goodness the Royal College recognizes the transition to CBME will be an iterative process. Skip the 5-year plan for now. Take a recipe approach – stir, taste, adjust as needed. Is there an EPA that’s hard for everyone to get? Are there rotations where few EPAs are being assessed? Are there EPA’s that are regularly assessed but rarely achieved?

13. Summary Contribute to a team Become friendly with your EPAs
Create a map template
Map EPA’s to training experiences
Cross-check distribution across stages of training
Point the way for stakeholders
Build in a review process
