This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This study tests whether a teaching method called the One-Minute Preceptor (OMP) helps resident doctors become better bedside teachers. About 450 medical students and 30 resident preceptors will take part. Half the preceptors will learn the OMP method, while the other half teach as usual. Researchers will measure teaching quality and student satisfaction.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
One-Minute Preceptor (OMP) teaching method
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a simple, effective way to improve bedside teaching for medical residents, potentially enhancing medical education.
What could go wrong
This is an educational study, not a medical treatment. Results may not apply to all teaching settings, and the benefit may be small or hard to measure.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 450 people

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

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.
