Educational priorities of students in the entrustable professional activity era.

A total of 113 students participated. The top three EPA-based educational priorities were 'recognising a patient requiring urgent/emergent care' (EPA10), 'performing procedures of a physician' (EPA12) and 'collaborating as an interprofessional' (EPA9). Over 80 per cent of students rated 'managing time efficiently' and 'communicating around care transitions' as very important pre-internship skills. Of the institutional objectives, 87 per cent rated 'recognising critically ill patients' and 'knowing when to ask for help' as the most important pre-internship skills. The voice of senior medical students is lacking CONCLUSIONS: Although the emphasis on knowing when to ask for help and communication around care transitions differed somewhat across stakeholders, educational priorities were shared by students, residents, educators and institutional objectives. These preliminary data support national assessments of perceptions and achievements of senior medical students to guide residency readiness in the EPA era.
