the goal of medical education is growing independence from supervision, understanding that medicine is a team activity and that no individual is ever truly independent when caring for patients. Interns are in supervised practice, but their level of responsibility is clearly higher than that of students. More importantly, when residents graduate and move into practice, their ability to function without supervision must be documented. These concepts of responsibility, entrustability, and function are all synthetic, in which a combination of knowledge, skills, and attitudes is required.
“Independence” does not mean a lack of accountability, or freedom to function outside the medical care system; in fact, the opposite is now taught in training programs under the “Systems-based Practice” competency of the ACGME. However, growing independence from supervision is one underlying premise of the synthetic model, and it has this in common with developmental models (differences will be discussed later in the chapter).
A useful synthetic framework for evaluating students and residents in their progress from understanding into action uses a descriptive, developmental vocabulary: Reporter­Interpreter-Manager-Educator (RIME)
11
(see Table 4.1 and
Appendix 4.1).
Table 4.1
RIME Framework: Short Definitions
Reporter: learner takes ownership of collecting and communicating the patient’s findings and priorities (symptoms, exam, labs, images, medications).
https://t.me/med1917
Interpreter: learner takes ownership of explaining new, abnormal, or important findings.
Manager: learner takes ownership of planning with patients (diagnostic, therapeutic, and patient education).
Educator: learner takes ownership of improving care through study.
(see Appendix 1 for fuller definitions)
The RIME framework can be used by itself as a tool for structuring observations of each learner–patient interaction, for categorizing an overall level achieved in a rotation, or as a larger framework for teachers to frame more granular systems such as Milestones, competencies, or EPAs. Since the underlying rhythm of RIME is observation-reflection-action, it corresponds to the History & Physical – assessment – plan sequence that all clinicians have used during their years of training (see Table 4.2).

This supports the framework’s acceptance as a shared mental model and helps achieve the desired construct alignment9 of teachers and activities of learners. Each of the more granular ACGME subcompetencies can be mapped to the RIME framework (see Appendix 4.2).26 The Patient Care Milestones of each specialty can be visualized in what Hemmer has termed “RIME-stones” (see Appendix 4.3) and the 13 Core Entrustable Professional Activities for Entering Residency (CEPAERs) proposed by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) can be implemented as ready-to­use dimensions of performance within the RIME framework27 (see Table 4.3).

We can see that different frameworks provide degrees of granularity that are useful in different settings.
The RIME framework uses these classifications (reporter, etc.) to describe the ability at which the trainee functions— either in a single patent encounter or globally. Each RIME step is a final “common pathway” that requires a synthesis of skills, knowledge, and attitude. This can be used for setting minimal expectations for learners in each year of training, or for describing the level of activity for which the learner is judged or trusted to be consistent. The RIME framework does not set the upper bound of what a student or resident is allowed to do, but rather the minimal standard of acceptable performance for the learner’s level of training.
https://t.me/med1917
In this respect RIME is a “razor,” helping teachers set a clear­cut point below which the learner is classified as not yet ready for higher responsibility.
In rating an individual learner–patient encounter, the RIME method can be applied directly to the level of performance just observed. On the other hand, for an end-of-rotation evaluation form, it is up to the teacher to be sure that the overall rating reflects the level the learner has achieved with consistency, and with the common, core medical issues that are likely to be encountered at the next level of training or practice.
Learners may be quite proficient at interpreting chest pain in a hospitalized patient but complete novices in dealing with nodular goiter in an outpatient clinic. This content- and context-based expertise has been demonstrated in both students and residents. The RIME framework describes how a learner interacts with a particular patient, and it is up to the teacher to make a judgment about their overall level of performance with common, core problems that are expected to be seen within each educational experience.
The RIME framework is not developmental in the sense that learners do not sequentially drop prior functions. Residents and faculty, for instance, continue to perform their roles as reporter. Advanced learners do not typically separate the tasks of reporting and interpreting or reporting and managing. For an expert, the fundamentals of differential diagnosis underlie the way patients are interviewed and examined; in other words, the task of interpretation is contained within the gathering of data, and a good oral case
https://t.me/med1917
presentation typically contains an implicit interpretation. Like other approaches that describe function, the level of performance does depend upon context and the patient’s problem. Learners may be quite proficient at interpreting chest pain in a hospitalized patient, but complete novices in dealing with nodular goiter in a referral clinic. Even residents might function at a reporter level for something uncommon, like Cushing’s syndrome, but be at a manager level for community-acquired pneumonia. H owever, a resident ready for independent practice is not simply a manger for pneumonia, but also reports and interprets successfully. In other words, the RIME synthetic framework has an explicit developmental aspect but is not, strictly speaking, developmental.
The RIME scheme guides teachers’ observations in looking for the signs of interpretation or management within the trainee’s act of reporting. Perhaps more importantly, the apparent stages of the RIME scheme can be used to establish a minimally acceptable level of performance for learners at each level. A clinical clerk must always be an acceptable reporter, even though interpreting is not yet proficient. A resident, on the other hand, must always be successful as reporter, interpreter, and manager.
In the global rating scale below, interpreter is depicted as a higher level of performance than reporter and manager is higher than interpreter. Are the distances between the three equal? There are no empirical data to support this, and since being an educator is part of the action phase of the process, it is difficult to assign a visual distance between them.

EPAs have emerged in both graduate medical education and undergraduate medical education (UGME). Originally defined by Olle ten Cate, EPAs represent the routine professional-life activities of physicians based on their specialty and subspecialty (see Chapter 1). Entrustable means a physician has demonstrated the necessary knowledge, skills, and attitudes (or competencies) to be trusted to ultimately perform the activity unsupervised. EPAs logically have led to the development of entrustment scales that are focused on levels of learner ability and defined by the actions of the rater regarding supervision of those actions, as opposed to inference of the competence of the individual trainee.
28
A central concept of EPAs is that trust is an internal construct in the teacher that can be relied upon for consistent assessment of learners. Per ten Cate and colleagues, “Trust involves the confident expectation that a person (i.e., student or learner) can be relied on to honour implied or established commitments to an individual (i.e., faculty and patient) and to protect [the individual’s] interest. It renders the individual (i.e., faculty and patient) vulnerable to the extent (s)he cannot oversee or control the actions of the other, on whose expertise or integrity (s)he may depend.”29 Teachers decide when and for what tasks they trust trainees to assume clinical responsibilities. As units or domains of entrustment, EPAs are believed to represent the critical activities of the profession that the learner should be able to achieve unsupervised (i.e., earned independence) prior to graduation. EPAs are synthetic as they require multiple knowledge, skills, and attitudes and encompass multiple
https://t.me/med1917
competency milestones (see Chapter 1). Like RIME, EPAs enable better construct alignment of the evaluation task and the activity being assessed and thus may improve evaluation
9,30
(also see Chapter 9).
For example, managing an upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage is an EPA. Doing so requires knowledge (e.g., anatomy and causes of bleeding), skills (e.g., performing endoscopy), and attitude/behavior (e.g., confidence to perform the task in an unstable patient). Like Milestones, it also encompasses multiple subcompetencies in the ACGME framework and thus represents a synthetic product.
Two main types of entrustment scales are currently in use. The first type often uses a 1–5 rating scale based on improving performance and the nature of supervision required. Supervision-based entrustment scales are sometimes referred to as “prospective entrustment scales” as the rater is judging the performance or encounter in relation to the amount of supervision that will be required moving forward. For supervision-based scales, a resident at Level 1 either can only observe others perform the task or cannot perform the EPA without direct assistance from a teacher. Level 2 embodies a learner who can perform the EPA under direct supervision while at Level 3 the learner can perform the procedure with the teacher standing outside the room or at a distance (indirect supervision). At Levels 4 and 5 the learner can perform the task independent of the teacher (they are entrusted to perform the activity without direct or indirect supervision). Tables 4.4 and 4.5 provide several examples of supervision-type entrustment scales directed at GME and at UME.

Based on this single observation, please provide an
overall judgment of this learner.
Level
1. Learner can be present but only as an observer. I would not let the learner perform this skill the next time.
2. Learner can practice skill with direct supervision (supervisor in room). I (or someone else) would need to watch the learner perform the skill in real time.
3. Learner can practice skill with indirect supervision (supervision available within minutes). I (or someone else) do not need to watch the learner in the room but will need to reassess the patient/confirm findings with the patient.
4. Unsupervised practice allowed (distant oversight). I (or someone else) do not need to watch the learner but I (or someone else) am available if the learner comes for help or to provide feedback.

The other version of entrustment rating is the coactivity scale, which defines the level of entrustment by the amount
https://t.me/med1917
of input and contribution required on the part of supervising faculty. The surgical O-SCORE is a commonly used coactivity scale (see Fig. 4.4).
