A mixed methods study comparing video based and paper based diagnostic error education for medical students.

ABSTRACT: Diagnostic errors, which can negatively impact patient outcomes, require better prevention strategies. Simulated patient case studies can be useful educational tools for medical students to reduce diagnostic errors. We compared the effectiveness of video- and paper-based diagnostic error case studies as teaching modalities for medical students. In this mixed-method, non-blinded randomized controlled trial, we recruited Japanese medical students. The participants (N = 113) received either video- (n = 57) or paper-based (n = 56) materials presenting five diagnostic error cases of over 30-min duration. Knowledge about diagnostic errors, motivation, and provider responsibility beliefs of diagnostic errors were assessed pre- and post-intervention. Participants in the video-based group reported
