Competency attainment is foremost in the ethos of this project that provides a practical guide to implementing entrustable professional activities (EPAs) as one approach to competency acquisition in the clinical education component of a health care program. EPAs are units of work that provide evidence of required competencies for the clinical education component of a program of study for educators, preceptors, and students.
The American Association of Colleges of Nursing has raised the importance of competency-based education and need for a practical approach to assess clinical competency challenges (eg, EPAs) in nursing education.
The implementation of EPAs in the clinical component of advanced nursing education is detailed as an example in this article. Prioritizing a systematic approach, the Knowledge to Action framework, was chosen to guide the process.
Nursing must act now to put in place a robust competency acquisition and validation system.
能力获得是本项目的首要原则，本项目提供了实用指南，介绍了如何将可委托的专业活动（EPAs）作为获取医疗保健项目临床教育部分能力的一种方法。EPAs 是工作单元，为教育者、导师和学生的学习计划的临床教育部分提供所需能力的证据。
美国护理学院协会已经提高了基于能力的教育的重要性，并需要一种实用方法来评估护理教育中的临床能力挑战（例如，EPAs）。
本文详细介绍了 EPAs 在高级护理教育临床部分的实施情况。为了指导这一过程，选择了优先考虑系统方法的知识行动框架。
护理必须立即采取行动，建立一个强大的能力获取和验证系统。
