Online, interactive video modules were created to demonstrate good skills in history taking, counseling, and communication. The authors evaluated the effect of the modules on students' data gathering, counseling, and communication skills with standardized patients (SPs). A student cohort without the online modules (n = 76 medical students and n = 43 dental students) was compared to a cohort of different students who were assigned the modules (n = 88 medical students and n = 39 dental students). Students were evaluated by SPs using case-specific content checklists and the Master Interview Rating Scale (MIRS). Compared to their counterparts who did not use the modules, medical and dental students who used the modules showed significantly higher performance on several outcomes. The areas that showed benefit were those that were novel to students. Student accuracy in grading others was generally unrelated to their own performance. In conclusion, the online, interactive video modules were associated with improvements in a majority of clinical skills.
