The Competency Conversation: Applying CBE in Pediatric Residency Training

July 15, 2026

On today's episode of The Competency Conversation, Dr. Candi Jump and Dr. Keshia Craig from the Pediatric Residency Program share their early experiences implementing competency-based medical education within a clinical training environment. They reflect on how Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) are shaping the way residents are evaluated, with a growing emphasis on real-time, actionable feedback and the progression toward independent practice. The conversation highlights both the challenges and opportunities of this transition—from supporting high-achieving learners as they navigate growth areas, to helping faculty adapt to more frequent, practice-based assessment. Grounded in their shared commitment to preparing residents to deliver high-quality patient care, this episode offers a candid and thoughtful look at building competency in a complex, fast-paced clinical setting.
