Delphi study defines 15 core entrustable professional activities for urology residency graduates

Study · Urology · 2026-10-16. Number 2 in the UrologyWatch Top 5 for October 17, 2026.

A national Delphi panel of academic urology educators distilled 242 candidate activities into 15 core EPAs that urology residents should perform independently by graduation, covering evaluation, medical management, and a narrower set of procedures.

Why it matters: Provides a competency-based framework that may inform future resident assessment and milestone evaluation in urology training programs.

Limitation: Consensus-based (Delphi) methodology reflects expert opinion rather than outcomes data; implementation and validation still pending.
