National consensus on entrustable professional activities for competency-based training in anaesthesiology.

ABSTRACT: Entrustable Professional Activities (EPA) are specialty specific tasks or responsibilities, combining the clinical workplace and the long-demanded competency-based medical education. The first step to transform time-based into EPA-based training is to reach consensus on core EPAs that describe sufficiently the workplace.
