Introduction:
Competence-based medical education (CBME) re-shaped medical education in North America and in Europe and is making its first steps in Israel in recent years. This article reviews the literature regarding the Mini-Clinical Evaluation Exercise (mini-CEX), a tool for the evaluation of clinical competencies in CBME. The mini-CEX has been adopted by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) and the European Federation of Internal Medicine (EFIM) and is cited in leading documents of these organizations on medical education. The mini-CEX allows direct observation on a clinical encounter of a learner (medical student or resident) and a patient by a skilled clinician (observer). The mini-CEX provides the basis for the provision of feedback to the learner by the observer following the observation.
