CCDA Clinical Skills Lab The Center for Competency Development and Assessment (CCDA), with its state-of-the-art digital imaging equipment and its superb standardized patient program, focuses on the development and assessment of the essential skills of the medical interview and physical examination and diagnosis. All students must pass a required Clinical Competency Examination (CCX) prior to graduation. The CCDA is managed by an Assistant Dean, aided by a coordinator.
