The use of clinical teaching associates (CTAs) in teaching male intimate examination to medical students: A randomised controlled trial.

Introduction: Genital examinations are challenging for medical students to learn in part due to practice opportunities. In an attempt to address this, we introduced clinical teaching associates (CTAs) who teach third year medical students and allow male intimate examinations to be practiced on themselves.

Materials And Methods: A single-blinded parallel-group RCT was conducted, recruiting 96 students.
