Abstract
Learner assessment in medical education is becoming increasingly oriented towards defined outcomes, including adequate application of skills and knowledge. Students must learn Clinical skills for better patients care. Clinical skills can be evaluated by observations. In the old methods, a case was allotted to students, after that students taking detail history of the patients and making final diagnosis using diagnostic procedure. At the end of the allotted time, students are presenting the case. This traditional method of assessment only considers the final outcome and not how the students have reached it. Mini-CEX is a structured assessment of an observed clinical encounter. The mini CEX can assess a range of core competencies that a trainee uses during day to day encounters with patients. The trainee conducts a focused history and physical examination and then provides a diagnosis and treatment plan. The faculty member (observer) scores the performance using a structured document and then provides educational feedback.
