Practice makes perfect? study tests if simulated exams boost Real-World doctor skills
NCT ID NCT07663760
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a simulated practice session (called a mini-CEX) helps fifth-year medical students perform better during a real patient consultation in anesthesiology. Eighteen volunteer students will first do a practice assessment with a trained faculty member, then be evaluated again in a real clinical setting. Researchers will compare scores to see if the simulation improves skills like history taking, communication, and clinical judgment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Simulated Mini-CEX educational assessment
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could show that a short practice session improves medical students' real-world clinical skills.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 18 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The benefit of simulation may be minimal or hard to measure.
