“…There is currently interest in creating a new national clinical skills assessment, as evidenced by efforts from the AAMC Group on Educational Affairs 42 and the Directors of Clinical Skills (DOCS) organization, 43,44 as well as recommendations to develop national standards of competence across undergraduate and graduate medical education by the Coalition for Physician Accountability Undergraduate to Graduation Medical Education Review Committee. 45 National standards are difficult to establish due to the scale and the number of different stakeholders and voices, and it will take an undetermined period of time for these to be fully implemented.…”

The discontinuation of the United States Medical Licensing Examination Step 2 Clinical Skills Examination emphasizes the need for other reliable standardized assessments of medical student clinical skills. For 30 years, the California Consortium for the Assessment of Clinical Competence (CCACC) has collaborated in the development of clinical skills assessments and has become a valuable resource for clinicians, standardized patient educators, psychometricians, and medical educators. There are many merits to strong multi-institutional partnerships, including the integration of data across multiple schools to provide feedback to both students and curricula, pooled test performance statistics for analysis and quality assurance, shared best practices and resources, individual professional development, and opportunities for research and scholarship. The infrastructure of the CCACC allows member schools to adapt to a changing medical landscape, from emerging trends in clinical medicine to the limitations imposed by a global pandemic. In the absence of a national examination, there is now a greater need for all medical schools to develop a comprehensive, dynamic, and psychometrically sound assessment that accurately evaluates clinical skills. Medical schools working together in regional consortia have the opportunity to create and implement innovative and robust assessments that evaluate a wide range of clinical skills, ensure that medical students have met an expected level of clinical competency before graduation, and provide a framework that contributes to ongoing efforts for the development of new national clinical skills standards.An Academic Medicine Podcast episode featuring this article is available wherever you get your podcasts.
