To acquire comments on pediatric dentistry entrustable professional activities (EPAs) from pediatric dentistry residency program directors (PDs). An electronic survey invited PDs to evaluate 16 previously developed EPAs on whether they were critical to patient safety, resident education, or both. PDs were asked to evaluate a fully developed EPA to assess structure and clarity and describe barriers to EPA. Descriptive statistics were completed. Forty-one of 103 PDs completed the entire survey. Eighty-five percent (36 of 42) of PDs believed EPAs are critical to pediatric dentistry education, and 81 percent (34 of 42) believed EPAs are critical to patient safety. Eighty-one percent of PDs would likely use EPAs when available. Seventy-five percent (31 of 41) of PDs reported that they have had a resident who would have benefited from a longer duration of training. The majority of pediatric dentistry residency program director participants surveyed reported that entrustable professional activities are critical to patient safety and resident education. EPAs may be a valuable option for assessing residents' readiness for graduation.
