Data sources include a pre-symposium survey, invited presentations, transcripts of plenary discussions, and follow-up reflections. Using NPT's four core constructs (coherence, cognitive participation, collective action, and reflexive monitoring), we examined how stakeholders make sense of EPAs, engage with implementation, integrate practices into clinical routines, and adapt them over time. The analysis revealed recurring mechanisms shaping implementation across contexts. Challenges included conceptual ambiguity, variable engagement, workflow pressures, and misalignment with existing practices. At the same time, enabling conditions emerged across settings: clear communication of purpose, phased implementation strategies, coordinated faculty development, leadership support, and context-sensitive adaptation.
