Application of an Improved Mini-CEX Combined with DOPS Dual-Track Evaluation System in the Clinical Competency Training of Ultrasound Resident Physicians
Objective:To explore the application and value of an improved Mini-CEX combined with a Direct Observation of Procedural Skills(DOPS)dual-track evaluation system in the clinical practice competency training and assessment of resident physicians in ultrasound specialty programs.Methods:The study involved resident physicians from two cohorts in our hospital's ultrasound specialty training program.The 2017 cohort,consisting of 24 residents,served as the control group,while the 2018 cohort,consisting of 18 residents,served as the experimental group.The control group underwent traditional teaching and assessment methods,while the experimental group was evaluated using the improved Mini-CEX combined with the DOPS dual-track evaluation system.Results:The experimental group demonstrated significantly higher practical skill scores compared to the control group,with the difference being statistically significant(P<0.05).Additionally,the experimental group reported higher teaching satisfaction levels than the control group.Conclusion:The improved Mini-CEX combined with the DOPS dual-track evaluation system offers significant advantages in the clinical competency training of ultrasound resident physicians,enhancing both practical skills and teaching satisfaction.
