Clinical Trial Summary

Medical students' abilities to diagnose skin lesions after dermatology electives often remain unsatisfactory despite a dermatology elective being one of the most effective ways to improve their clinical reasoning. Feedback and reflection are two basic teaching methods used in clinical settings. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of structured reflection and immediate feedback in improving of medical students' evaluation of skin lesions.
