The One Minute Preceptor (OMP) method is a learner-centered, micro-teaching tool designed to enhance clinical learning, particularly at the postgraduate level. In postgraduate orthopaedic education, which is largely procedure-focused, clinical reasoning skills often receive limited attention due to time constraints and high workloads. This study introduced OMP as a teaching-learning approach to improve the clinical skill development of postgraduate students in orthopaedics. Methodology: This interventional study took place in the Department of Orthopaedics at PGIMS Rohtak, following ethical approval. Faculty and students were first oriented to the OMP model, and each student participated in 12 OMP sessions. Feedback from both students and faculty was collected through a mix of open-ended and close-ended questions, rated on a five-point Likert scale. Results: Around 92% (n=54) of the 60 postgraduate students found OMP valuable in enhancing their clinical skills, while 85% (n=48) reported an increase in their confidence in clinical practice. Faculty members unanimously observed that OMP not only helped in assessing residents' clinical knowledge but also in addressing specific areas for improvement in clinical skills. Conclusion: OMP is a feasible and effective teaching method in demanding clinical settings, fostering significant improvements in the clinical skills of postgraduate orthopaedic students. |
