We read with interest the article by Shields et al1 in which they discussed the results of teaching students an effective way of asking questions in a ward round. They implemented the famous “question listen respond” strategy, which is an engagement method used in business and law. Being on placement is a leap forward for medical students as they are required to apply hours of lectures and theory into real life
clinical practice. While this clinical trial showed positive results in the experimental group compared to the control, there are certain aspects of this study we would like to highlight.
