The list of candidate EPA (Entrustable Professional Activities) selected after 2 round of rating by the expert panel. This list of 225 EPA had not yet undergone the quality check using the EQual-Criteria (DOI: 10.1097/ACM.0000000000001908) Methods: We set up a multi-step approach including a systematic review of the international literature; four national focus groups; a national consensus process using a RAND appropriateness method and a quality check of the selected candidate EPAs using Equal criteria. Results: These steps generated a final list of 247 candidate EPAs in GIM that were submitted for the national consensus process. After two rounds of rating, experts agreed on the appropriateness for the GIM postgraduate training of 225 of the candidate EPAs. Twenty-two of the proposed EPAs were deemed inappropriate and disagreement persisted only for two EPAs.
