Summary
The goal of this observational cross-sectional study is to evaluate whether the combined use of Mini-Clinical Evaluation Exercise (Mini-CEX) and Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) can assess the independent clinical competence of occupational therapy interns at Far Eastern Memorial Hospital. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does the performance on Mini-CEX correlate with the interns' ability to perform independently? 2. Does the use of EPAs provide additional insight into interns' readiness for unsupervised clinical practice? Participants will: 1. Provide informed consent at the sixth week of their internship. 2. Undergo assessment with Mini-CEX and EPAs during their eighth week of clinical training. 3. Complete demographic questionnaires including age, gender, study habits, prior university experience, parental occupation, and residence area.
