Mini-CEX

The Mini-CEX (mini-clinical examination) is essentially a way to spot check certain skills you want to improve.

The evaluation forms are flexible and can accommodate assessment of the following:

• History-taking skills (see patient care)
• Focused physical examination (see patient care)
• Oral presentation skills
• Patient counseling

It is a simple form to give a supervisor so you can get immediate, written feedback and document skills that may not always be directly observed.

Submission criteria

You may either hand the form to Kathy to have it scanned so you can submit it at the end of the clerkship or you can briefly summarize the feedback.
