Abstract

This article discusses entrustable professional activities (EPAs), a framework for guiding teaching, assessment and feedback in the workplace, now widely used in medical education. It outlines the benefits of the approach and the challenges that can be encountered when implementing it in the veterinary educational context. The article includes the experiences of two newly graduated veterinary surgeons who trialled two EPAs during their final year and are now using EPAs in the RCVS' Veterinary Graduate Development Programme (VetGDP).
