Competence-based education has gained in popularity at many countries. Competence is regarded as the possession and development of integrated skills, knowledge, appropriate attitudes, and experience for the successful performance of ones life roles. A new concept is gaining great relevance in the clinic medical education context: Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) these activities allow curricular development of competencies, no longer in the classroom. EPAS have been identified for many graduate clinical education programmes, but none for basic sciences disciplines. With the idea of transfer EPA concept to the development and assessment of basic science competencies, this work offers: (1) a EPAS-competencies matrix to work the competency E2 described by the Association of American Medical College (linked with research skills) (2) the development of a complete EPA model. The proposal opens a line to discuss the implications and challenges that this concept-transfer offers.
