Can a One-Minute trick make better doctors? new trial tests bedside teaching method
NCT ID NCT07305077
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
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.

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.
