About this trial

Modern medical education is based on competency-based learning and the use of formative assessment tools in real clinical settings, such as the Mini-Clinical Evaluation Exercise (mini-CEX). However, the impact of a prior simulated mini-CEX experience on subsequent performance in real clinical settings remains insufficiently studied, particularly among medical students in anesthesiology-intensive care (DCEM3). This study aimed to assess the effect of a simulated mini-CEX on performance during a real mini-CEX in pre-anesthetic consultation.
