Content

Specialist practice learning is organized through Specialist Entrustable Professional Activities (SEPAs). The students acquire specialist competencies (SEPAs) at their own practical learning place. A medical specialist as a preceptor is a necessary condition for monitoring the learning process and for providing medical education in practice. Daily supervision can be delegated to a mentor (i.e. fellow medical doctor or certified Physician Assistant). For the requirements of assigning such a mentor role, reference is made to the apprenticeship agreement. The own practical learning place is a powerful learning environment in which knowledge is applied and skills are practiced. Specific skills are acquired in one's own work situation, with the SEPAs being formulated by the preceptor. As an extension of this, students write the learning work plans that describe how the SEPAs in specialist practice are achieved. This competence development and the supporting documents are carefully kept in the portfolio. At the end of each semester it will be assessed whether the goals set by the student in his learning and working plans have been achieved. The portfolio must show, among other things, that the student is able to complete the determined SEPAs at level 4, after which a declaration of competence (Statement of Awarded Responsibility) by the preceptor and at least 1 other committed staff member or colleague GP is signed. The duties and responsibilities of the student, the preceptor, the employer and the coach from the study program are described in the "Learning in practice" manual.
