The preparedEPA assessment system makes CBE practical for everyday use by making workplace-based assessments effective and efficient. A single assessment of a trainee by a supervisor takes less than a minute.
The results of all assessments are summarized in the trainee’s personal competency profile. There you can, and others you share your profile with can, see how competent you are in specific activities (EPAs).
preparedEPA is specifically designed for use on smartphones. There is also a web version that can be used on any desktop computer: epa.prepared.app
Each training institution has access to a cockpit that helps you keep an overview of resident training.
