Based on the results of this survey and what we considered should be expected of our trainees, the curriculum development group decided on a set of four EPAs that trainees will be required to have assessed during Stage 1 of their training.
It assesses the competencies of international medical graduates to practise medicine safely in UK hospitals, and the standard is set at the level of what would be expected of a trainee completing foundation year 1.
The goal was to define the essential knowledge- and skills-based competencies expected of all HSR trainees, irrespective of areas of content specialization, method or disciplinary focus.
The faculty champions were successful in training their colleagues and community members, substantially exceeding the goal of 280 trainees, with a rate of 55.7 trainees per faculty champion or a total rate of 5.6 over the expected 280 trainees.
He trains with an intensity and a spirit that you might expect of a 16-year-old trainee thrown in for a day with the first team.
The Responsible Conduct of Research booklet, prepared by the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, explains what the university expects of its researchers in terms of mentor-trainee relationships, data sharing, intellectual property, human subjects research, and more.
It would be expected that individual trainees would choose one of the two types of methodological approaches to gain independent expertise during their doctoral training.
Training for assessments includes examination protocols (e.g. staying 'in role', confidentiality, negotiating judgements etc), expected trainee standards, rehearsal and calibration of performance.
Using a 6-point rating scale (0 1 below the expected level of competency, 2 reflecting a borderline level of competency, 3 meeting the expected level of competency and 4 5 representing an above expected level of competency) the trainee's performance is evaluated during 15 minutes of observation time [ 15].
As expected, Foundation Trainees (graduated 2005 or later; these trainees represent the new style of basic medical training in the UK) decided nearly 18 months sooner.
