Twenty-four clinical teachers and 44 clinical students participated in this study. The percentage of written feedback increased by 39%, and the specificity increased by 30.1% (p=0.001). The percentage of written action plans increased by 37%, and the specificity increased by 17.7% (p=0.001). The percentage of written reflection in the new spaces on the modified forms reached 73%, and 49.2% were classified as ‘specific’.Conclusion. The use of modified mini-CEX assessment forms, with the addition of extra spaces on separate sheets, improved the quantity and quality of written feedback and action plans, and encouraged written reflection.
