Popis: Assessment of entrustable professional activities (EPAs) requires a supervisor to determine a learner’s need for supervision to perform the tasks. This study examines medical students’ perspectives, after completing their core clerkships, about the supervision they need to perform tasks defined by the core EPAs for entering residency. Compared with assertions at the start of the clerkship year, on retrospective self-assessment, students reported needing higher levels of supervision predominantly for activities commonly done during clinical rotations. Students remain confident in their ability to perform tasks with autonomy in the post-clerkship phase, however, raising concern about their abilities to discern limitations and appropriately request supervision.
