Some of the students whose first rotation was in a rotation with alternate clinical and reflection days (dermatology, ophthalmology and ENT) did not yet experience a great difference in workload, but they anticipated this would happen when they moved to other rotations, like internal medicine or surgery.
It seems important to stimulate more systematically to critical reflection on clinical experiences and to deliver more performance feedback to medical students and young practitioners.
Through the iOSCE program, medical students have a chance to review themselves and improve their skills of critical reflection during clinical practice examinations.
We prepared instructions for teaching conflict management and conflict resolution styles, small-group negotiations, case-based clinical scenarios, personal reflection, and facilitated debrief.
But nearly all of this week's offerings are straight up clinical in their reflection of reality.
A further objective was to suggest guidance for clinical training and reflection on the role and empowerment of patients.
The training utilised a range of methods including didactic presentations, small group discussion and exercises, clinical case discussions, reflection on practice, and role-play.
The remaining EBP activities Formulating questions, Searching databases and Compiling information can be performed by an individual alone, which might require more of cognitive skills and multiple thinking strategies, e.g., critical thinking, reflection, clinical reasoning and judgment.
