Introduction: One of the most habitually utilized appraisal instruments that action the learners' presentation in work environment is the mini-Clinical Evaluation Exercise (mini-CEX), in which a specialist notices and rates the genuine exhibition of residents. A few essential examinations have assessed the adequacy of mini-CEX by evaluating its educational and psychometric properties.
Purpose: The main aim of this study was to discuss the attributes, MINI-CEX scores, its parameters, issues and suggestions through perception of the respondents.
Methodology: This was a prospective observational study from January 2019 to November 2020. Thirty faculty and 30 residents from Department of Urology Institute of Kidney Diseases HMC Hayatabad medical Complex Peshawar 2000 had relations with tertiary consideration community partook in this exercise. The data was collected through interview.
Findings: The analysis has been done through SPSS version 22, Sample Size Software correlation and t-test on parameters, comparison on instruments etc.
Conclusion: faculty scores higher in all aspects of the variables such as interview, physical examination, professionalism, clinical judgement, counselling, organization, and overall competence. It was tracked down that the senior faculty gave higher capability scores and better by and large satisfaction scores in contrast with their residents.
