Brief Summary:
This randomized educational trial compares two peer-support approaches for teaching clinical skills to medical students. Participants are randomly assigned to one of three groups: (1) Digital interactive peer support delivered through an online platform with structured tasks and feedback; (2) Face-to-face peer support delivered in small group sessions with guided practice; or (3) Standard training according to the usual curriculum. All participants complete an objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) immediately after training, and complete a validated questionnaire to assess reflection skills. A follow-up OSCE is administered to evaluate retention of clinical skills. There is no drug or device involved and risks are minimal.
Detailed Description:
Design: Interventional, randomized, parallel-assignment trial with three arms (digital interactive peer support, face-to-face peer support, standard training). Allocation is approximately equal across arms; masking is not used.
Setting and participants: Medical students who meet eligibility criteria at a university clinical skills program. Participants provide informed consent prior to enrollment.
Interventions:
* Digital interactive peer support - structured peer learning via an online platform (e.g., modules, quizzes, discussion, and peer feedback).
* Face-to-face peer support - structured in-person peer sessions with guided practice, observation, and formative feedback.
* Standard training - the usual curriculum without additional structured peer-support.
Assessments and timing: A baseline checklist may be collected as part of routine instruction. Primary endpoint is the OSCE total score obtained immediately post-intervention.
