Randomized trial examines how observing errors in clinical skills affects learning in medical trainees, suggesting that error awareness enhances performance.

Key Points

This study aims to determine how observing both flawless and flawed performances influences the learning of clinical skills in medical trainees.
Participants (n = 39) were randomized into three groups: observed flawless performances (F), mixed performances (E), and mixed with assessment feedback (FA).
Each group engaged with their observational videos daily for 4 days prior to a simulation-based skill assessment.
Participants' performances were evaluated using a checklist and a global rating scale.
Checklist scores showed no significant differences among groups (grand mean ± standard error: [20.3 ± 0.7]/25).
The FA group demonstrated better performance on the global rating scale compared to groups F and E (d.f.2,36 = 4.51, p = 0.018).
Observing errorful performances, coupled with feedback, contributed positively to the evaluation of clinical skills.
