Objective: The aim of this study is to establish the entrustable professional activities (EPAs) for graduating students of the Kinesiology and Physiatry degree course at the National University of Hurlingham (UNAHUR), in the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. For this purpose, areas for the development of competences have been established, based on the context of the present study. Methodology: Qualitative and development work was carried out using documentary analysis and consultation through surveys to kinesiologists who work as clinical practice teachers at UNAHUR. Results: Six areas for the development of competencies are identified and five professional activities to be entrusted at the time of graduation are established. Conclusions: We have found positive implications for the future for students, teachers, the institution and the recipients of the services provided by the profession, which can serve as a reference for other institutions that are on similar paths.
