SOTO-AGUILERA, Carlos A. et al. Entrustable Professional Activities (EPA): an approach of competencies for medical curriculum. FEM (Ed. impresa) [online]. 2016, vol.19, n.1, pp.55-62. ISSN 2014-9840.

The implementation of competency-based education has revolutionized the way of learning and teaching medicine globally. Competencies are the responsibilities that all physicians must possess; they emerged from the Canadian Medical Education Directives for Specialists (CanMEDS) and Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). To achieve the acquisition of these competencies, it has been necessary to implement Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs), term coined by Ten Cate and Scheele, its purpose has been to link the concept of competencies with the practice. EPAs are clinical activities that learners must carry out for master them without supervision. The Milestone Project created by the ACGME was founded in order to enrich the competencies, where each specialty should define their own and decide the level of performance expected of students in each postgraduate year of the specialty. To apply the EPAs it is necessary that its design is consistent with the objectives of the curriculum and requirements of the profile of the graduate. Several educational institutions in different countries have implemented this innovative model of teaching, including: Canada, United States of America, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and the Netherlands. The purpose of this article is to spread new proposals for medical education that link the competencies with the daily basis practice in medicine to allow clinicians to achieve empowerment of these new tools and can apply them efficiently to the teaching of students, being one of these tools the EPAs.
