This contribution outlines three essential aspects of lifelong learning in the medical professions: (1) the orientation of learning objectives towards outcomes necessary for independent practice in the professional field (competency-based medical education [CBME], supported by the concept of entrustable professional activities [EPAs]), (2) findings on the development of professional expertise (building on the Dreyfus model of expertise and the dual process theory), and (3) the Canadian Medical Education Directives for Specialists (CanMEDS) roles framework for describing physicians' professional competencies (which might be extended to other healthcare professions). All three aspects interact with each other and should not be regarded as being independent.
