Randomized Controlled Trial
Effects of Peyton's four-step approach on objective performance measures in technical skills training: a controlled trial.
Although skills-lab training is widely used for training undergraduates in technical procedures, the way in which clinical skills are to be used and instructed remains a matter of debate. ⋯ Peyton's Four-Step Approach is superior to standard instruction with respect to professionalism and accompanying doctor-patient communication and leads to faster performance when trainees perform the learned skill for the first time.
