Abstract: To explore the application effect of Mini-CEX (Mini-Clinical Evaluation Exercise) combined with DOPS (Direct Observation of Procedural Skills) in the internship teaching of the department of ultrasonic medicine. A total of 40 interns from the department of ultrasonic medicine were selected as research subjects and randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group, with 20 interns in each group. The control group adopted the traditional teaching mode, while the experimental group adopted the teaching mode combining Mini-CEX and DOPS. The Mini-CEX scores, DOPS scores, and teaching satisfaction of the interns in the two groups were compared. The Mini-CEX scores and DOPS scores of the experimental group were significantly better than those of the control group (P<0.05), especially in ultrasound diagnosis and differential diagnosis, analysis ideas, humanistic care, and emergency response; the teaching satisfaction of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). Therefore, the application of Mini-CEX combined with DOPS in ultrasound department internship instruction can effectively enhance interns'clinical comprehensive competence, procedural skill levels, and teaching satisfaction.
