The AMC National Framework for Prevocational Medical Training includes the implementation of Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs).
The Framework was launched in January 2024, and the EPAs will be introduced across WA in 2026. This allows the opportunity for health sites to trial the use of EPAs during 2025, prior to these becoming mandatory. PMCWA will also use 2025 to prepare health sites, and to educate and engage with assessors to ensure they are prepared to assess PGY1 and PGY2 EPAs via Clinical Learning Australia (ePortfolio) in 2026.
During 2025, all WA health sites will be trialling the use of EPAs, allowing supervisors, assessors, medical educators and the Assessment Review Panel to become familiar with these assessments. For further information, please contact your medical education unit (MEU).
The following resources are available to support trials and the official rollout in 2026.
