Curriculum Map
The list below outlines the facets of the Western OtoHNS CBME curriculum by rotation. The Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) that are listed are those that are expected to be observed and achieved on those rotations. It is certainly possible that other relevant clinical encounters may take place on those rotations that can be put toward other EPAs that aren't explicitly part of the rotation, and this is to be encouraged when reasonable to do so. However, the listed EPAs are the clinical focus of the rotation for resident trainees.
