German term or phrase: etwas festhalten
Hi,

Something along the lines of "is a snapshot of" [the skill profile of the modern physiotherapist], perhaps?

Das Ausbildungsprogramm orientiert sich am Niederländischen Berufsprofil für Physiotherapeuten (de Vries et al., 2014).
Dieses wurde von den zwölf niederländischen Fachhochschulen für Physiotherapie und dem Niederländischen Physioverband (KNGF - Koninklijk Nederlands Genootschap voor Fysiotherapie) im Jahr 2014 überarbeitet und ***hält*** das Kompetenzprofil des modernen Physiotherapeuten ***fest***.

Thanks,

Best regards,

agree  philgoddard: Or lays down, or specifies, or sets out, or lists... lots of possibilities.

  -> Probably true, But you never know for sure unless you translate at least the skeleton of the sentence so that everybody can see what works and what doesn't work well in that context.
