Abstract

Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) define observable key tasks that a doctor should be able to do independently after having completed a certain level of education. Progression is facilitated by frequent assessments of the defined activities, with increased degree of independence. The observations should be supported by constructive feed-forward. EPA is currently used in several countries both in undergraduate and post graduate education. In the context of pending changes in Swedish legislation regarding undergraduate education qualifications ordinance and medical licensing, a Swedish national work group has begun to define Swedish EPA for the future undergraduate education.

Abstract (Swedish)
EPA (entrustable professional activities) avser aktiviteter som ingår i en läkares dagliga arbete och som läkaren ska klara med en definierad grad av självständighet första dagen som legitimerad läkare.

En modell för att träna och bedöma sådana aktiviteter kan säkerställa att studenter klarar av det faktiska arbete som ska utföras första dagen efter legitimation, och den tydliggör också progressionen mot uppsatta mål under hela läkarutbildningen.

Modellen används internationellt på både grund- och specialistutbildningsnivå.

Läkarutbildningarna i Sverige arbetar tillsammans med att utforma en nationell modell för att träna och bedöma EPA under grundutbildningen.
