Abstract
There has been a growing interest in the development of Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) for entry-level health professional education, as demonstrated by Bramley et al's scoping review in this issue.1 EPAs are a specific type of competency-based education (CBE), which describe discrete activities that can be entrusted to early health professionals, are essential to the profession, and encapsulate one or more core competencies.2 The purpose of EPAs is to formalise decisions of entrustment or responsibility and to allow supervisors to justify the safe delegation of an activity to a learner.3.
