Who can join

Age: any. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• 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.

You may not qualify if…

• 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.
