MUNCAT is the Memorial University of Newfoundland Competency Assessment Tool, a digital application designed to provide formative assessment of resident performance of specialty-determined entrustable professional activities (EPAs). The resident receives coaching tips and feedback from the observer during a conversation that occurs at the moment the activity occurs. 

MUNCAT is a comprehensive App and Dashboard system used to record, track and display a resident‘s EPAs as they progress over time. The tracked learning activities are required by the Royal College of Surgeons and Physicians of Canada and the College of Family Physicians of Canada.

The app captures the specialty-determined entrustable professional activities in order to collect, organize and present data on the MUNCAT dashboard, pertaining to these assessments, to allow for efficient summative assessment of each resident learner, as well as cohorts of residents.

App features:

• Use of Memorial University single sign-on (use the my.mun.ca account)
• Works iOS, iPadOS and most versions of Android
• Secure and encrypted data
• An observer tracking PIN makes submissions quick and easy
• Discipline specific EPAs
