Origins and UseThis document, commonly known as the Pediatric Critical Care Medicine EPA Guide, wasdeveloped by the Royal College’s Critical Care Specialty Committee to support thediscipline’s transition to Competence by Design (CBD). The format and structure of thedocument is designed specifically to support the development of the Royal College’stechnical infrastructure. Recognizing, however, that some faculty and residents will benefitfrom access to the document for teaching and planning purposes, the Royal College hasopted to make the technical document available, as is. This material is subject to change.It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that he/she is using the latest version, which isaccessible via the Royal College’s website.Structure and FormatThe following information provides guidance on navigation and interpretation of the variouselements of this technical document.When working with the electronic version of this document, you will find a navigation bar onthe left-hand side of the PDF. This will support quick and easy transition between items.Many of the items span multiple pages and share common design features. The followingtable describes the different design elements and should help users navigate through theitems.FeatureDescriptionTitleThe title of each item includes the name of the discipline followed by thestage of training and item number. Items in each stage of training beginat number one.In some cases, there may be a letter after the number (i.e. an A or P).The letter refers to the stream within the discipline to which this item isapplicable (e.g. 1AP – Item 1 is applicable to both the adult and pediatricstream).EPA nameThe Entrustable Professional Activity (EPA) name appears immediatelyafter the title. This is a statement about the work of the discipline. It isobservable and measurable.Key featuresThe key features section describes the EPA and may include: the focus of the EPA (e.g. body system, type of injury, safepatient monitoring), different aspects of the observation (E.g. patient assessment andprocedural skills, observed in preoperative clinic) pre-learning requirements (E.g. builds on skills previouslyattained), or procedural requirements (E.g., includes surgical and non-surgicalmanagement)This description helps both residents and supervisors better understandthe nature and limitations of this professional activity; it may alsoemphasize requirements for consideration of entrustability. 2018 The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.Page 2 of 52

AssessmentPlanThe assessment plan describes the nature of the information that shouldbe provided to the Competence Committee in order for that group tohave enough information that they are able to make a decision regardingentrustment of this professional activity. This includes instruction on whois to provide the observation information (supervisor, delegate, otherhealth professionals), the nature of the observation (e.g., direct orindirect), as well as the suggested ePortfolio observation form(s).This section also lists any additional information that should be collectedabout the case or observation, such as patient factors, diagnoses,treatments, and/or setting of care. This information helps build theobservation form. The various factors included in this section are selectedby the specialty committee in order to provide the CompetenceCommittee with the breadth of information required to make a decisionregarding entrustment of this EPA.RelevantCanMEDSMilestonesMost EPAs are comprised of several CanMEDS milestones. Eachmilestone is preceded by a series of letters and numbers which link themilestone to the corresponding key and enabling competency withinCanMEDS Interactive.For example, if the code is ME 1.6.-ME refers to the CanMEDS Role, Medical Expert. Other possibilities areCOM Communicator, COL Collaborator, L Leader, HA HealthAdvocate, S Scholar and P Professional.-1.6 refers to the Key and enabling competencies within theaforementioned Role.Contact us if you have any questions or comments about this document atcbd@royalcollege.ca 2018 The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada.Page 3 of 52
