| Description | South Africa is undergoing a significant shift towards implementing enhanced workplace-based assessment methodologies across various specialist training programmes, including family medicine. This paradigm involves the evaluation of Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) through comprehensive portfolios of evidence, which a local and national clinical competency committee then assesses. The initial phase of this transformative journey entails the meticulous development of EPAs rooted in discrete units of work. Each EPA delineates the registrar’s level of entrustment for autonomous practice, along with the specific supervision requirements. This concise report details the collaborative effort within the discipline of family medicine in South Africa, culminating in the consensus formation of 22 meticulously crafted EPAs for postgraduate family medicine training. The article intricately outlines the systematic structuring and rationale behind the EPAs, elucidating the iterative process employed in their development. Notably, this marks a groundbreaking milestone as the first comprehensive documentation of EPAs nationally for family medicine training in Africa. | |
