WBAs with timely feedback provide authentic assessment of clinical performance but are resource-intensive and influenced by assessor variability. Problem- and scenario-based learning support experiential learning and strengthen clinical reasoning beyond passive knowledge acquisition. Technology-enhanced approaches, including simulation, virtual and augmented reality, haptic systems, and flipped classroom models, may support learning and deliberate practice but are not intended to replace supervised patient care. Trainees consistently value feedback that is specific, timely, and delivered by engaged supervisors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Clinical competence develops through repeated supervised practice supported by meaningful feedback and principles of deliberate practice.
