| Description: |
Residents’ physical examination skills are poor because attending physicians spend little time teaching these skills and use ineffective teaching methods. This trial tested whether training attending physicians to teach physical examination skills using two different structured approaches improved residents’ technical and perceptual skills in performing the cardiovascular exam compared to residents who were taught by attendings without specific training (usual teaching). |
