Abstract: 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. In this paper, we describe the relevant principles that served as a guide as we developed a new CPE for medical students that fully incorporate EPAs. This may help ease the transition for other institutions looking to introduce a new student CPE.<br />Competing Interests: Conflict of InterestThe authors declare that they have no conflict of interest.<br /> (© International Association of Medical Science Educators 2019.)
