The final rating scale “EPA Overall Assessment” has changed across all Postgrad Departments, hoping to make the anchors more straightforward, interpretable and to promote uniformity.
Please see the document for a full explanation but in short the new categories are:
Proficient
performance was an exemplar
Competent
didn’t need to act - coaching aside
Support
provided minor re-direction
Direction
provided major re-direction
Intervention
had to complete some or all of the EPA
The nuanced interpretation will be discussed in detail by your Program Director, RPC and Competence Committee to help ensure that there is uniformity across your division. (Note that the grading scale for milestones [the sub components of the task] will remain the same for the present.)
