description <h3>Background</h3><p dir="ltr">Mini Clinical Evaluation Exercise (Mini-CEX) has been adapted to different specialties in clinical practice but with very little evidence documented about its use for residency training in the emergency department (ED). This study aims to assess its acceptability and feasibility as a formative tool in the busy emergency department.</p><h3>Materials and Methods</h3><p dir="ltr">Both the faculty members and the emergency medicine residents were sent a validated questionnaire using Google forms, and the results were analyzed using simple statistical tools.</p><h3>Results</h3><p dir="ltr">Forty-nine residents and 58 faculty participated in the survey. The study was carried out over a period of 4 months. The resident’s completion rate was 96% (49 out of 51), while faculty completion rate was 96% (58 out of 60). The time for Mini-CEX completion ranged from 10 to 20 minutes. Most of the residents were satisfied with Mini-CEX as an assessment tool. Twelve residents expressed their concern regarding available time during busy clinical shifts. Most of the faculty agreed with the benefits of using Mini-CEX as a formative assessment tool. Several of them commented that they need “protected time” and “more training” to use this tool to provide maximum benefit to the residents.</p><h3>Conclusion</h3><p dir="ltr">Despite busy nature of ED, Mini-CEX has been identified as an acceptable learning tool for residents in emergency medicine. Based on the faculty’s feedback and comments, several faculty development workshops were conducted to improve faculty skills in carrying assessments by using Mini-CEX, and protected time is provided to some faculty members to carry out these formative assessments for the benefit of the residents.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: Open Access Emergency Medicine<br>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.2147/oaem.s321161" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.2147/oaem.s321161</a></p>
