Increasing real-time feedback through entrustable professional activities (EPAs) enhances resident satisfaction during training.
- 74.4% of residents reported receiving at least one EPA microassessment per rotation.
- Satisfaction with feedback was significantly higher with more frequent EPA microassessments (p<0.001).
- On their worst rotations, satisfaction improved from 42% to over 50% when at least one EPA assessment was provided.
Incorporating EPAs can bridge feedback gaps and boost resident engagement.
