“…EPAs have now been identified for many graduate medical education programmes including obstetrics/gynaecology (Scheele et al 2013), paediatrics (Gilhooly et al 2014), internal medicine (Caverzagie et al 2015), family medicine (Shaughnessy et al 2013;Schultz et al 2015), psychiatry (Boyce et al 2011), haematology and oncology (Shumway et al 2015) and pulmonary and critical care (Fessler et al 2014a,b). Examples of EPAs from the literature are providing preoperative assessment, managing care of patients with acute common diseases across multiple care settings, providing palliative care, managing common gastro-intestinal infections in non-immunosuppressed and immune-compromised populations, conducting a family education session for schizophrenia, conducting a risk assessment, serving as the primary admitting paediatrician for previously well children suffering from common acute problems, pharmacological management of an anxiety disorder, providing end-of-life care for older adults and office-based counselling in developmental and behavioural paediatrics.…”
