Microlearning vs. traditional learning for medical students
This trial compares two ways of learning for medical students: short, focused lessons (microlearning) versus longer, traditional lessons. It aims to see which method helps students learn better in a busy, connected world.

This trial tests a teaching method called 'One-Minute Preceptor' (OMP) to see if it helps medical students learn better during bedside teaching. If you're a fourth-year student on a rotation, you might be able to join and help improve how doctors teach.
This study looks at whether people learn better from in-person training or online training in a medical setting. You may help by taking a course and sharing whether the format affects what you learn.
This study explores how medical students learn and process information in different ways. Researchers want to understand individual learning differences to potentially improve teaching methods for future doctors.
This trial tests whether using games can help medical and nursing students and residents learn better. If you are a student or resident in medicine or nursing, you might be able to join and try a new way of learning.
This trial tests whether a practice exam (simulated Mini-CEX) helps fifth-year medical students perform better during their real end-of-rotation evaluation in anesthesiology and intensive care.
This trial studies how remote care may change how doctors think and how open patients are. It is for final-year medical students and adults with health coverage.
