CBME EPA Dashboard Update – Customized Entrustment Scale Values

Medsis update
Thank you for expressing interest in utilizing our new Customizable Entrustment Scale feature in MedSIS. I am writing to formally confirm that this functionality is ready to go!
I provided a projected go-live date of July 1, 2023. However, this functionality will take me a bit of time to set up so I will begin rolling it out over the coming weeks to ensure that all interested programs are ready for July 1.
I have included a few screenshots below to illustrate the effects this feature will have on current trainees.
NOTE: Once turned on (again, I will be rolling this out over the next few weeks), current trainee EPA dashboard progress will update immediately to reflect your customized preferences.
Default Settings Example:
- Stage: Foundations of Discipline
- Minimum Achieved Entrustment Value: 5/5
Customized Settings Example:
- Stage: Foundations of Discipline
- Minimum Achieved Entrustment Value: 4/5
When comparing both examples, note:
- Progress Bar Percentages:
- The progress bars for both Foundations EPA 1 and the overall Foundations stage both changed to 100%
- Statuses:
- the status of Foundations EPA 1 changed from “In Progress” to “Ready for Review”.
- Despite this EPA status change, the overall stage status remained the same.
- As mentioned below, no previous Competence Committee decisions will be affected by the implementation of this new feature; if the CC deemed an EPA/Stage as achieved/approved previously, the committee will not be required to update the status again.
I highly recommend notifying your current trainees/Academic Coaches/CC Members, etc. of these changes as they may wonder why their dashboards have suddenly updated.
I hope this correspondence comes as welcome news! Again, these changes will be effective immediately upon roll-out, with all interested programs set up by July 1,2023 at the latest.
**IMPORTANT: if you wish to keep your current preferences as is (accepting only 5s), please let me know ASAP.**
