| Mini-CEX-7: overall clinical competence | 6.0 (0.5) | 6.0 (0.8) | 0 (−0.5–0.5) | .89 |
| Assessor satisfaction | 8.9 (0.3) | 8.8 (0.4) | 0.3 (−0.2–0.8) | .46 |
| Learner satisfaction | 8.9 (0.3) | 8.6 (0.7) | 0.6 (0.1–1.1) | .02 |
| Data are expressed as mean (standard deviation). The Mini-CEX-total (range = 7–63) is defined by the sum of seven items, using a nine-point rating scale, and the assessor and learner satisfaction, using a nine-point rating scale | ||||
