The Metacognitive Enhancement Triad model enhances learning outcomes in first-year emergency medicine residents.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

This study evaluated the Metacognitive Enhancement Triad (MET) model, integrating peer-assisted learning (PAL), problem-based learning (PBL), and practice-enhanced cognitive learning (PCL), for improving first-year residents' learning outcomes and National Medical Licensing Examination (NMLE) performance.

Methods

A quasi-experimental study was conducted at a tertiary academic medical center. 24 first-year residents received conventional training (pre-intervention), while 22 received the MET intervention (post-intervention). The MET model comprised: (1) PAL groups formed by diagnostic assessment; (2) Constructivist PBL sessions led by mentors; (3) Clinical rotations restructured to align with NMLE content (PCL). Primary outcomes were NMLE scores and pass rates. S
