| Abstract: | Clinical history taking and physical examination are two of the most important competencies of physicians. In addition to informing diagnoses, these activities build rapport and establish relationships between caregivers and patients. Despite this, emphasis on the assessment of bedside clinical skills is declining. To prepare our students for clinical work, we began a clinical competency, personalised teaching programme in which students perform a history and physical examination in front of a master clinical teacher (MCT) approximately every 2 weeks throughout their core clerkship year. The MCT works with the student in a clinical encounter, providing personalised bedside instruction on all features of being a clinician including bedside manner, history‐taking skills, physical examination skills, and clinical reasoning. The MCT then provides an assessment of student's competency development and gives feedback to the student about what they do well and where they have opportunities for growth. Assessment data are collected and tracked longitudinally across the clerkship phase to ensure that each student is progressing developmentally. With over 6000 observations of student performance, we are able to discern competency development and growth over time. We can identify if a student is not improving as expected during their clerkship phase and intervene by providing extra practice and training. This core clerkship teaching programme has been well received by both students and instructors and has led us to pilot this approach during the post‐clerkship phase of our medical training.
