Offers consensus EPA curriculum for German anaesthesiology training; leaves open effects on competence and outcomes.
Effect estimate: ICC 0.973 (entrustment) (95% CI 0.959-0.984)
A nationally validated EPA-based curriculum for postgraduate training in anaesthesiology in Germany was developed, reflecting broad consensus among chair directors.
Ganzhorn et al. (2023) studied Postgraduate training in anaesthesiology (n=34). Delphi consensus approach for EPA-based curriculum was evaluated on Consensus on the importance and the year of entrustment of each EPA (ICC 0.973 (entrustment), 95% CI 0.959-0.984). A Delphi consensus approach among German chair directors of anaesthesiology resulted in a nationally validated curriculum of 34 Entrustable Professional Activities with high levels of agreement.
