2 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
A recent Institute of Medicine monograph brought attention to high rates of diagnostic error and called for better educational efforts to improve diagnostic accuracy.1 Educational methods, however, are rarely tested and some educational efforts may be ineffective and wasteful.2 In this study, we plan to examine whether explicit instruction on diagnostic methods will have an effect on diagnostic accuracy of 2nd-year medical students and internal medicine residents.
The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of the addition of hands on training by a pediatric dentist on the pediatric residents skills, confidence, opinions and practice related to preventive oral health.
