The Synchronous Workplace Interactive Feedback Tool (SWIFT) is a computer-based application designed to help veterinary students receive feedback from clinical educators on Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs).

EPAs are critical tasks that veterinarians must perform in their professional environment. These tasks are:

• Complex: They require the integration of multiple skills and knowledge areas.
• Observable: They have clear start and end points, making them easy to monitor.
• Authentic: They involve real-world decision-making with tangible outcomes.
• Independent: Students should be able to perform these tasks on their own by the time they graduate.

SWIFT facilitates this learning process by allowing students to request and receive timely feedback on their performance. The SWIFT app can be accessed from the faculty and student dashboards.
