Researchers test whether a short workshop on using large language models improves how internal medicine and family medicine residents reason through clinical cases. About 200 residents join a multi-site randomized trial. Half attend the workshop before an AI-assisted assessment, …

This study tests whether personalized feedback from sensors and generative AI helps rehabilitation trainees learn Tuina, a manual therapy requiring precise hand movements. About 81 trainees will be randomly assigned to receive AI-supported feedback, sensor data without AI recomme…

This study compares three ways to teach doctors-in-training how to perform eFAST, a quick bedside ultrasound used to check for internal injuries. All participants watch a short instructional video, then perform three exams on a healthy volunteer. Some get no further help, some ge…

This trial tests whether an AI-assisted simulation can help Ob/Gyn residents improve their ability to provide culturally safe, trauma-informed care to Two-Spirit Métis patients. Up to 90 residents across three Canadian universities will be randomly assigned to either a specialize…

This study tests a tool called HYSAT that rates how well doctors perform hysteroscopy, a procedure to look inside the uterus. Researchers will observe 24 doctors at three hospitals, comparing novices and experienced doctors. The goal is to see if the tool reliably measures skill,…

This study tests a new AI system that uses both a camera and microphone to automatically document hospital ward rounds and give feedback to medical trainees. The goal is to see if it saves time, improves training, and is acceptable to patients and doctors. About 60 medical traine…

This study tests whether one session of AI-assisted structured guidance can improve the quality of narrative literature reviews written by medical postgraduate students. 102 students will be randomly assigned to either receive the guidance session or use AI freely without it. The…

This study compares two teaching methods for bedside lung ultrasound in the ICU: case-based learning (CBL) versus traditional lectures. 106 medical residents and students will be randomly assigned to one method. The goal is to see which approach leads to better practical skills a…

This study will test a simulation-based training program for new surgical residents, anesthesia nurses, and operating room nurses. Participants will go through two 60-minute team training sessions with realistic scenarios and guided discussions. The goal is to see if this trainin…

This study tests a virtual reality training program for pediatric doctors and nurses. The goal is to help them learn how to talk with parents about safely storing firearms at home. Thirty clinicians will complete the training and provide feedback on how useful and practical it is…
