Summary

Postgraduate training in obstetrics and gynaecology relies heavily on the acquisition of practical and procedural skills in a broad array. The European Board and College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (EBCOG) have recently revised their postgraduate training curriculum according to competency-based training principles [1]. The EBCOG curriculum contains 10 core entrustable professional activities (EPAs) [2] and 8 elective EPAs, in which competency levels of technical and procedural skills as well as communication skills are defined.
