Abstract Objective To evaluate the effect of mini-clinical evaluation exercise (miniCEX) on improving the clinical ability of interns for the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory diseases. Methods Interns studying in the Department of Respiratory and Critical Medicine of Shanghai General Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University from March to December 2019 were divided into control group and miniCEX group. The control group received conventional teaching training and the miniCEX group received one miniCEX besides conventional teaching. The comprehensive scores were compared before and after training. Results The diagnosis and treatment scores after training for the interns significantly improved in both the control group and miniCEX group. Compared to those in the control group, the medical history taking, physical examination, and diagnosis scores after training for the interns in the miniCEX group were not statistically significant (P>0.05). However, the scores of expression, humanistic qualities and total scores were significantly higher in the miniCEX group than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Application of miniCEX could improve the competence of clinical diagnosis and treatment of respiratory diseases for interns. MiniCEX should be actively promoted in the standardized training of interns.
