• 1 other identifier: 1925/QĐ-ĐHYDCT/07
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 450
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment Model Description: Cluster-randomized by preceptor (30 clusters; 15 OMP/15 control). Outcomes at student level; 15 students per cluster. Adequate OMP exposure is defined a priori as ≥2 structured OMP feedback encounters (≥5 minutes each) delivered across ≥2 separate weeks of the rotation. Masking: Outcomes Assessor

Conditions

Clinical Teaching; Bedside Teaching; Medical Education

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Mini-Clinical Evaluation Exercise (mini-CEX) Total Score

  Total score on the mini-CEX, ranging from 1 to 5. Higher scores indicate better bedside teaching performance as rated by student participants. Measure Type: Continuous.

  8 - 12 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Student Satisfaction Score

  8-12 weeks

Study Arms (2)

OMP

EXPERIMENTAL

One-Minute Preceptor training: 90-min workshop + pocket card + coaching + fidelity checklist.

Behavioral: One-Minute Preceptor (OMP)

Control

NO INTERVENTION

Usual bedside teaching; OMP offered after trial completion.

Interventions

One-Minute Preceptor (OMP) BEHAVIORAL

Faculty development workshop (90 min), pocket card, coaching, audit with OMP 5-step fidelity checklist.

Also known as: OMP

Eligibility Criteria

• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Child (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

• A. Student participants (outcome level):
• Aged ≥18 years at enrollment.
• Enrolled Year 4-medical students assigned to one of the participating preceptor-led bedside teaching groups during the study period.
• Expected to attend the rotation for 8-12 weeks (or the site's standard rotation length).
• Able to provide informed consent (and agree to be observed/assessed via mini-CEX).
• \- B. Preceptor clusters (randomized units):
• Resident physicians serving as bedside teaching preceptors in participating departments.
• Will supervise approximately 15 students during the study period.
• Agree not to cross over to teach students in the opposite trial arm during the trial period.
• Able to attend OMP training and permit fidelity observation (checklist) if allocated to the intervention.

You may not qualify if:

• A. Student participants:
• Prior exposure to formal OMP-based teaching within the past 6 months in the same department.
• Not expected to remain on the rotation long enough to be assessed (e.g., planned absence \>2 weeks or early withdrawal).
• Declines or withdraws informed consent.
• Severe communication barrier that precludes valid assessment (e.g., language barrier without support).
• \- B. Preceptor clusters:
• Formal OMP training within the past 12 months (to avoid contamination), or role as an OMP trainer for other faculty during the study period.
• Planned cross-coverage that would result in teaching students from both arms during the trial period.
• Anticipated extended leave making fidelity and outcome assessments infeasible.
