About this Journal Article:

This article applies the Entrustable Professional Activities (EPA) framework—the dominant competency-based assessment model in U.S. medical education—to AI tools, proposing that we assess AI across ability, integrity, and benevolence just as we assess trainees. It operationalizes the novice-to-expert trajectory by defining when students are ready to be ‘entrusted’ to use AI independently in high-stakes clinical settings, directly addressing how assessment can measure progression in both human competency and human-AI collaboration.
