5 - Entrustment decision making in clinical training

The decision to trust a medical trainee with the critical responsibility to care for a patient is fundamental to clinical training.

In this webinar, world-renowned CBME experts explore different modes of trust and entrustment decisions and elaborate the categories that determine when decisions to trust trainees are made.
