Entrustable professional activities (EPAs) are units of professional practice that could be observed, assessed, monitored, documented, and entrusted. EPAs when entrusted, outline the physician's qualifications, and shape the scope of practice. This insight highlights the importance of development of EPAs in all medical specialties including dermatology to ensure the best standards for patient's care. Development of EPAs-based training program is considered a challenge for clinical educators. In this paper, we describe practical tips and reflections on our experience in developing EPAs in dermatology doctoral training program that could be a guide for dermatology educators to implement EPAs in dermatology training programs.
可委托的专业活动（EPAs）是可观察、评估、监测、记录和委托的专业实践单位。当委托 EPAs 时，它们概述了医生的资格，并确定了实践范围。这一观点强调了在包括皮肤科在内的所有医学专业中发展 EPAs 的重要性，以确保为患者提供最佳的护理标准。基于 EPAs 的培训计划的发展被认为是临床教育者面临的挑战。在本文中，我们描述了在皮肤病学博士培训计划中开发 EPAs 的实际技巧和经验反思，这可以为皮肤科教育者在皮肤病学培训计划中实施 EPAs 提供指导。
