The Effect of Digital Interactive and Face-to-Face Peer Support on Medical Students' Clinical Skill Performance, Reflection Skills, and Retention of Clinical Skills
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Digital Interactive Peer Support, Face-to-Face Peer Support, and 1 other intervention for Clinical Skills Education and 7 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 98 participants across 1 site.
Detailed 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.
