On today's episode of The Competency Conversation, Dr. Candi Jump and Dr. Keshia Craig from the Pediatric Residency Program share their early experiences implementing competency-based medical education within a clinical training environment. They reflect on how Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) are shaping the way residents are evaluated, with a growing emphasis on real-time, actionable feedback and the progression toward independent practice. The conversation highlights both the challenges and opportunities of this transition—from supporting high-achieving learners as they navigate growth areas, to helping faculty adapt to more frequent, practice-based assessment. Grounded in their shared commitment to preparing residents to deliver high-quality patient care, this episode offers a candid and thoughtful look at building competency in a complex, fast-paced clinical setting.
