Diagnostic and management dilemmas in a patient with tracheal trauma.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Entrustable professional activities (EPAs) are commonly developed by senior clinicians and education experts. However, if postgraduate training is conceptualised as an educational alliance, the perspective of trainees should be included. This raises the question as to whether the views of trainees and superv...
