Abstract

Objectives: To propose and evaluate solutions for improving the quality of basic surgical skills training based on entrustable professional activities (EPAs). Methods: Analyzing and synthesizing documents to provide a theoretical and practical basis for developing solutions to improve training quality; describing the learning outcomes and opinions of 334 students from the DH56 course who implemented these solutions at the Department of Practical and Experimental Surgery, Vietnam Military Medical University. Results: Four clusters of EPA-based solutions were developed to enhance training quality. For the DH56 cohort, the M17 examination results were as follows: Excellent 21.6%, Good 32.6%, Average 43.1%, and Fail 2.7%. These results differed significantly from those of the DH55 cohort (p< 0.01). Over half of students reported that EPAs helped standardize training content, enhance theory-practice integration, improve confidence and comprehension to learner, and provide a basis for transparent and objective assessment. More than 85% expressed a positive agreement with the EPA-based approach. Conclusion: The EPA-based educational interventions presented are feasible and effective in improving the quality of surgical skills training. Further refinement and broader implementation are warranted.
