This study aims to define the “Entrustable Professional Activities” (EPAs) for Kinesiology and Physiatry graduates at the National University of Hurlingham, Argentina. It also establishes competency development
areas relevant to this context. The qualitative research involved documentary analysis and surveys of kinesiologists serving as clinical practice teachers. The results identified 6 competency areas and 5 EPAs for new graduates. These findings benefit students, teachers, the institution, and service recipients, and can guide similar institutions. The limitations include context-specific transferability and the lack of implementation and calibration, as this is the first stage. Future stages involve further development, analysis, and consensus on EPAs followed by implementation and evaluation.
