Implementation of entrustable professional activities in emergency medicine: perspectives from clinical instructors.
Article in International journal of medical education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objectives: To explore how clinical instructors in emergency medicine perceive and integrate Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) into their teaching practices, identify challenges they face, and explore the support required for effective implementation. Methods: This study utilized grounded theory methodology to explore the pedagogical experiences of clinical instructors within emergency medicine. A qualitative approach was adopted, involving semi-structured interviews with participants recruited through purposive and snowball sampling techniques. A total of 18 emergency physicians, each with over five years of clinical teaching experience in a teaching hospital, were included in the study. Results: The study revealed several critical insights: (a) Emergency medicine clinical instructors are integral in supervising, training, and providing feedback to residents, facilitating their development. (b) The implementation of EPAs is hindered by limited resources, time constraints, and the challenges of delivering real-time feedback. Instructors often experience a lack of confidence in their teaching efficacy, observe diminished motivation among residents, and encounter difficulties in assessing residents' soft skills. (c) The effective implementation of EPAs necessitates a supportive educational environment, a robust reward system, and objective feedback mechanisms. (d) Instructors derive a significant sense of fulfillment from witnessing the progression of residents into competent and autonomous practitioners, underscoring the importance of empowering educators through enhanced training and institutional support. Conclusions: The findings offer valuable insights for developing of emergency medical education programs and underscore the need for targeted strategies to enhance the quality of clinical instruction in emergency settings.
