One-Minute Preceptor to improve bedside teaching

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This cluster-randomized study assigns 30 resident preceptors at Can Tho Children Hospital to either One-Minute Preceptor (OMP) training or usual teaching, with 15 clusters per arm. Each preceptor will supervise about 15 fourth-year medical students and student-level outcomes will be measured using observed mini-CEX assessments with outcome assessors blinded. Adequate OMP exposure is predefined as at least two structured OMP feedback encounters of five minutes or more delivered across two separate weeks, and fidelity will be monitored. The primary analysis compares student clinical performance between the OMP and control arms accounting for cluster randomization.

Why it matters

Who can join: the full rules

Inclusion Criteria:

* 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.

Exclusion Criteria:

* 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.
