Description¶

A lesson-level instructional pattern for clinical skills teaching that embeds peer role-play and peer assessment in collaborative group learning. After theoretical instruction, students in groups of 3–4 follow: case-based introduction, group formation with rubrics, an instructor-led demonstration in which the instructor "role-played the patient's perspective behind the anatomical model", peer practice, and facilitated observation. It was used with international medical students learning gynecological examination.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

Small groups of 3–4 members with anatomical models, distributed assessment rubrics and procedural guidelines, and an instructor prepared to model the patient perspective and monitor group progress.

Constraints¶

The instructor demonstration "served to illustrate best practices rather than to serve as a formal simulated patient encounter".

Target Learners¶

International medical students in obstetrics and gynecology clerkships

Learning Goals¶

Gynecological examination skills including patient-centered communication, empathy, and technical procedural proficiency
