Educators have been challenged to create assessments that are competency-based and grounded in accepted standards such as the entrustable professional activities (EPAs). The clinical performance evaluation (CPE) is a commonly utilized assessment modality, which allows multiple evaluators to provide feedback on a learner’s performance in the clinical workplace.
