As residents progress through their training toward independent practice, entrustment scales can be used to assess resident performance. The STFM CBME task force recommends the following entrustment scale:
Participated only as an observer or required faculty to do.
Required significant faculty assistance.
Required minimal faculty assistance.
Completed independently, without need for assistance.
Demonstrated the ability to role model or teach others.

The STFM CBME Task Force has worked with MedHub and New Innovations to integrate standardized, family medicine direct observation assessments into their mobile apps. These assessments, which are available now, are linked to the Core Outcomes of Family Medicine Residency Education and the ACGME Family Medicine Sub-competencies.
