In our medical intensive care unit (MICU), planned changes to include trainees and APPs on blended teams presented a unique opportunity to design and evaluate interprofessional teamwork.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aim<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We developed entrustable professional activities (EPAs) related to effective teamwork and psychological safety to both promote an inclusive clinical learning environment and support the implementation of teamwork competencies in a critical care setting.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Program Description<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A diverse team of professionals utilized a modified Delphi approach to prepare, draft, assess, and align teamwork EPAs with Team FIRST competencies.
