Origins of the CCC Some programs have always had a CCC, although it may have been called many different things The move to competency based assessment led the advent of many new evaluation tools Milestones and EPAs have only increased the amount of evaluation done The volume of data became overwhelming for the PD to sift through alone The ACGME now mandates that a committee play a key role in competency assessment
