Exploring the use of rating scales with entrustment anchors in workplace-based assessment.

By going to the frontline during WBA encounters, this study captured authentic and honest reflections from physicians immediately engaged in assessment using entrustment anchors. While many of the factors identified are consistent with previous retrospective work, we highlight how some faculty consider factors outside the prescribed approach and struggle with the language of entrustment anchors. These results further our understanding of 'in-the-moment' assessments using entrustment anchors and may facilitate effective faculty development regarding WBA in CBME.
