Clinical Competency Exam (CCX) - Overview
The Clinical Competency Exam (CCX) is an integrated suite of tools for examining and evaluating a students' clinical reasoning process. CCX can be used at all levels of student expertise. Diagnostic exercises can begin with a printed form of patient information, a DxR Clinician case, or a Standardized Patient encounter. CCX works with them all.
CCX collects input from the student and automatically compares details of his or her reasoning process with the instructor's standards. Instructors reviewing student records find knowledge gaps and remediation needs.

Clinical Competency eXam (CCX) - Testimonial
"The CCX Program helped prepare me for the USMLE Step 2 CK (Clinical Knowledge). This program is an excellent prep tool. I have never been more comfortable taking an exam as I did Step 2 CK because I had been using CCX since the first week of medical school."
