ENTRUST Assessment Platform
ENTRUST is a virtual patient case creation, simulation platform, and authoring tool to assess trainees’ decision-making competence. The concept, features, and functionality of ENTRUST was directed by Dr. Dana Lin and Dr. Cara Liebert at the Stanford University School of Medicine and the platform was developed in collaboration with a software engineering team led by Edward F. Melcer, PhD at the University of California, Santa Cruz. ENTRUST has been successfully used during for the COSECSA Membership of the College of Surgeons (MCS) Examination since 2022.
ENTRUST Training
The SELF program held an ENTRUST demonstration and training on Friday, January 5th at 7am PT led by Dr. Cara Liebert.

If there is an internet disruption, the following message will be shown and you can select “resume” to continue the case. You may also get this message if multiple users are sharing the same login (i.e. “ENTRUSTCOSECSADEMO” or “ughetest4”) and the prior user exited the window before finishing the case. In this situation, select “cancel” and you will be taken to the beginning of the case. This will not occur for individual accounts with unshared usernames and passwords.
