“…Mini-clinical evaluation exercise (Mini-CEX) is a formative evaluation in which clinical teachers observe medical interviewing, physical examination, and other diagnosis and treatment behaviors in resident trainees to provide timely feedback and evaluation. Mini-CEX [4][5][6][7][8][9] is one of the most signi cant methods for evaluating the competency of medical trainees, and is widely used [10][11][12]. However, we know of no report on using Mini-CEX for evaluation of community general medicine outpatient medical interviewing.…”

Background: To evaluate the effects of mini-clinical evaluation exercise (Mini-CEX) on the training of community outpatient medical interviewing ability among general medicine resident physicians. Methods: Eighty general medicine resident physicians rotating at the Changqing Garden Community Health Service Center in Wuhan Fourth Hospital were recruited as study participants. The participants were randomized into an experimental group and a control group, with 40 participants per group. Both groups received the same 20 training sessions. However, the experimental group received Mini-CEX evaluation and feedback regarding their community outpatient medical interviewing ability after 10 training sessions. After 20 training sessions, community outpatient medical interviewing ability was evaluated in both groups. Results: The outpatient medical interviewing ability score of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). Stratified analysis based on cohort was performed, and the scores of the year 1 and year 3 cohorts in the experimental group were higher than in the control group (P<0.05). A questionnaire survey was carried out on all participants, and 87.5% were supportive of addition of Mini-CEX in the course. Conclusions: Mini-CEX evaluation in standardized residents training can improve their medical interviewing ability. Residents were receptive of this teaching model.

“…Learners stated that mini-CEX was very effective in reflecting and improving their performance and learning and can be used as an educational framework for teaching and learning. Their study expressed no negative attitude toward mini-CEX [ 13 ]. The results of a similar study on the impact of the mini-CEX on the clinical competence of nursing students in Tehran were also consistent with ours.…”

Purpose: The present study aimed to investigate the effect of a mini-clinical evaluation exercise (CEX) assessment on improving the clinical skills of nurse anesthesia students at Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences, Ahvaz, Iran.Methods: This study started on November 1, 2022, and ended on December 1, 2022. It was conducted among 50 nurse anesthesia students divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group’s clinical skills were evaluated 4 times using the mini-CEX method. In contrast, the same skills were evaluated in the control group based on the conventional method—that is, general supervision by the instructor during the internship and a summative evaluation based on a checklist at the end of the course. The intervention group students also filled out a questionnaire to measure their satisfaction with the mini-CEX method.Results: The mean score of the students in both the control and intervention groups increased significantly on the post-test (P<0.0001), but the improvement in the scores of the intervention group was significantly greater compared with the control group (P<0.0001). The overall mean score for satisfaction in the intervention group was 76.3 out of a maximum of 95.Conclusion: The findings of this study showed that using mini-CEX as a formative evaluation method to evaluate clinical skills had a significant effect on the improvement of nurse anesthesia students’ clinical skills, and they had a very favorable opinion about this evaluation method.

This study was conducted to develop and validate an instrument to measure the medical professionalism climate in clinical settings. The item pool was developed based on the Tehran University of Medical Sciences Guideline for Professional Conduct. The items were distributed between two questionnaires, one for health-care providers and the other for patients. To assess the construct validity of the questionnaires, 350 health-care providers and 88 patients were enrolled in the study. The reliability of the questionnaires was evaluated by calculating Cronbach’s alpha and ICC. At first a 74-item pool was generated. After assessing and confirming face and content validity, 41 items remained in the final version of the scale. Exploratory factor analysis revealed the three factors of “personal behavior”, “collegiality” and “respect for patient autonomy” in a 25-item questionnaire for service providers and a single factor of “professional behavior” in a 6-item questionnaire for patients. The three factors explained 51.775% of the variance for service providers’ questionnaire and the single factor explained 63.9% of the variance for patients’ questionnaire. The findings demonstrated that from the viewpoints of patients and service providers, this instrument could be applied to assess the medical professionalism climate in hospital clinical settings.
