Perception and Satisfaction of Undergraduate Medical Students of the Mini Clinical Evaluation Exercise Implementation in Orthopedic Outpatient Setting.

Undergraduate medical students perceived the mini-CEX as an effective tool for clinical teaching in an outpatient orthopedic setting. However, most students indicated suboptimal instructor involvement in the teaching and assessment process; this raises concerns regarding inadequate direct observation and limited feedback for student performance. Additional measures are needed to ensure high quality clinical encounters, teacher training, integration with other assessment tools, and standardized coverage mini-CEX implementation in orthopedics.
