Note: Depending on the EPA, different levels of independence are aimed for. Reading example: For EPA 3.4 “Assess a patient using coronary angiography”, level of independence 3 is required. Postgraduate trainees do not have to do this completely independently but under indirect supervision. This is different, for example, for EPA 4.2 “Manage a patient with aortic stenosis”. Here, level of independence 5 is the target. This activity must be carried out independently without supervision and they must also be able to take on the supervisory role.
