EPA Assessments

  • Entrustable Professional Activity (EPA)s describe essential work undertaken by PGY1 and PGY2 doctors. They are anchored to the prevocational outcome statements and help align PGY1 and PGY2 doctors’ roles with both training
    activities, and assessment and achievement of prevocational outcomes.
  • Assessment of EPAs provides structured opportunities for observation, feedback and learning, and informs
    global judgements at the end of terms and the end of each prevocational year.
  • An EPA is a description of essential work. This contrasts with outcomes or capabilities, which describe characteristics of a prevocational doctor.
  • An EPA is not an assessment tool, but performance of an EPA can be assessed. Assessment of EPAs include judgements about entrustability, i.e. the level of supervision required for the doctor to perform this work safely.
  • In your assessment, your Supervisor makes a judgement about how safely you can perform this activity - your level of entrustability.
  • For information on why EPAs are useful for junior doctors click.
  • An EPA Observed Practice will commence in 2024 with interns. More information to follow.
