Entrustable professional activities for physiotherapists to demonstrate digital health competency: an international delphi study
This Delphi study is a seminal international consensus on the core EPAs for digital physiotherapy practice. These EPAs materialize competency. As global attention to digital health continues to increase, our workforce will need to continue to mature in this space. This international consensus will support employers, universities, peak bodies, and individual physiotherapists alike to develop alongside technology. With greater evidence and the establishment of international standards, confidence in the outcomes of digital physiotherapy practice will increase.
