Creating and confirming observable professional activities (OPAs): A pilot study evaluating the feasibility of OPAs on a residency inpatient spinal cord injury rotation.

The article discusses a pilot study evaluating the feasibility of using observable professional activities (OPAs) on a residency inpatient spinal cord injury rotation in physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) graduate medical education. The study aimed to demonstrate that the current OPAs for spinal cord injury (SCI) are feasible and beneficial for training programs. Results showed an increase in feedback provided to residents, a correlation between entrustment scores and resident experience, and positive feedback on the tool's ease of use and correlation with rotation objectives. While the study had limitations, it concluded that SCI OPAs have potential benefits for resident training in PM&R. [Extracted from the article]
