Establishing an Entrustable Professional Activity-Based Curriculum for Postgraduate Respiratory Medicine Training: A National Consensus Process
The novel EPA-based curriculum represents a shift from time- and number-based requirements to competency-oriented postgraduate education in adult respiratory medicine. We describe the development process, conceptual framework, and key lessons learnt. By integrating programmatic assessment and EPAs with frequent workplace-based assessments, it aims to enhance feedback culture, entrustment decisions, and individualized learning, providing a model for other national training programs and specialties adopting CBME.
