Abstract
We introduce Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) as a potential framework for clinical training and assessment in genetic counseling. We discuss advantages of this approach, review how EPAs complement Practice-Based Competencies (PBCs), describe our process of generating proposed "core" EPAs, provide examples of specialty-specific EPAs, discuss the concept of entrustment in clinical training, and propose an approach to implementation.
