Abstract：Objective To explore the feasibility and effective evaluation of the teaching evaluation system based on entrustable professional activities(EPAs)in the standardized training of thyroid surgical residents.Methods From September 2022 to December 2023,30 thyroid surgical residents from the First Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine were selected to implement the teaching and entrustable level assessment of EPAs.We statistically analyzed the pass rate of the initial and final entrustable level assessment and the overall pass rate of the EPAs program in different grades.EPAs questionnaire form was analyzed.Results The pass rate of the final EPAs assessment was higher than the initial EPAs assessment(P<0.05).The results of the resident's entrustable assessment indicated the overall pass rate of entrustable assessment for EPAs was positively correlated with the resident's grade(P<0.05).And the higher the grade of the residents,the higher the overall compliance rate of the expected confidence level of EPAs.The survey results indicate that the vast majority of resident physicians affirm the effectiveness of EPA teaching.Conclusion The teaching evaluation model of EPAs can comprehensively improve the anticipated entrustable level and the core competency level of thyroid surgical residents,which provides a certain theoretical basis for competency-oriented residents training and evaluation.
