Level II Fieldwork Performance Evaluation

In 2025, the AOTA Fieldwork Performance Evaluation (AOTA FWPE) transitioned from a subscription-based model to a royalty-based model, accessible through the academic program’s fieldwork management system (e.g., EXXAT, CORE) or alternative vendors (e.g., Formstack, Trajecsys, Typhon).

For additional information, please review the AOTA Fieldwork Performance Evaluation (FWPE). See also the Fieldwork Performance Evaluation Rating Scoring Guide (Revised in 2020).
