What is the One-Minute Preceptor method studying in medical education?

The One-Minute Preceptor method is being studied to see how it improves bedside teaching for medical students during clinical rotations. Researchers want to understand if this structured teaching approach helps students learn better under the supervision of resident physicians. The study is sponsored by Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy.

Who may be eligible for this clinical trial on bedside teaching?

Participants must be Year 4 medical students aged 18 or older, assigned to participating bedside teaching groups, and expected to complete an 8 to 12 week rotation. Both male and female students can join, provided they have not had recent One-Minute Preceptor training and can give consent. Please review eligibility criteria for more details.

Is there any cost to participate in this clinical trial?

Study-related care, including the teaching methods and all trial assessments, is provided at no cost. Personal travel or other expenses may vary and are not guaranteed to be covered. Participants should plan accordingly for any incidental costs.

What this Trial Is About

The trial investigates how the One-Minute Preceptor OMP teaching method affects bedside teaching quality in medical education. It focuses on residents who supervise Year 4 medical students during clinical rotations. The goal is to see if structured OMP feedback improves student performance and satisfaction compared to usual bedside teaching practices. Participants are grouped by preceptors into clusters, randomly assigned to either the OMP intervention or usual teaching. The OMP group receives a 90-minute workshop, a pocket card for guidance, coaching, and fidelity checks to ensure correct use of the method. The control group continues with standard bedside teaching, with OMP training offered after the study ends. Students attend rotations lasting 8 to 12 weeks, during which they receive feedback and are assessed using the Mini-Clinical Evaluation Exercise mini-CEX. Researchers evaluate student performance scores and satisfaction. Preceptors adherence to the OMP method is monitored, and outcomes are collected without participant or teacher masking except for outcome assessors. The full participation period is based on rotation length, with assessments at 8 to 12 weeks.

Eligibility Criteria

You may qualify if you...

Student participants must be 18 years or older at enrollment.
Enrolled Year 4 medical students assigned to participating preceptor-led bedside teaching groups.
Expected to attend the rotation for 8 to 12 weeks or the site's standard rotation length.
Able to provide informed consent and agree to be observed and assessed via mini-CEX.
Resident physicians serving as bedside teaching preceptors in participating departments.
Preceptors must supervise about 15 students during the study period.
Preceptors agree not to teach students in the opposite trial arm during the study.
Preceptors must be able to attend OMP training and permit fidelity observation if allocated to the intervention.

You will not qualify if you...

Student participants with prior formal OMP-based teaching in the same department within the past 6 months.
Students not expected to remain on rotation long enough to be assessed (e.g., planned absence over 2 weeks or early withdrawal).
Students who decline or withdraw informed consent.
Students with severe communication barriers preventing valid assessment (e.g., unsupported language barrier).
Preceptors with formal OMP training within the past 12 months or who are OMP trainers for other faculty during the study period.
Preceptors with planned cross-coverage teaching students from both trial arms during the study.
Preceptors anticipating extended leave making fidelity and outcome assessments infeasible.
