en Teaching Conflict Management Skills to Medical Students: A Scoping Review Medical Education Medical Education Review Article Review Article Background: Conflict management skills include the ability of team members to actively use appropriate methods and strategies in different conflict situations. Considering the necessity of effective training in conflict management skills for medical students as a member of healthcare teams, this scoping review study aimed at reviewing the appropriate methods for teaching conflict management to medical students.    Methods: In this scoping review, PubMed, Eric, ProQuest, Web of Science (WoS), and Scopus databases were systematically searched until May 21, 2023. Titles, abstracts, and full texts were screened separately by 2 researchers. The quality of the articles was assessed using the Best Evidence Medical Education (BEME) tool. Then, a descriptive synthesis was performed, and the results were reported. The Kirkpatrick model was used to evaluate the educational outcomes assessment.    Results: Out of 2888 retrieved studies, 19 studies were included. Although active and interactive teaching methods such as roleplay, group discussion, and interactive workshops were the most frequently used methods, the results did not pronounce the superiority of one method over others.    Conclusion: Based on the results of this scoping review, further research should evaluate the effectiveness of conflict management training methods by focusing on the randomized controlled trial design and using standard and valid tools to assess educational outcomes.   Teaching, Medical students, Conflict Management, Scoping review 155 163 http://mjiri.iums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-7714-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Fatemeh Mohseni mohseni.fa81@gmail.com 200319475328460088859 200319475328460088859 No Department of Medical Education, Education Development Center, Gerash University of Medical Sciences, Gerash, & Department of Medical Education, Medical School, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran Aeen Mohammadi aeen_mohammadi@tums.ac.ir 200319475328460088860 200319475328460088860 No Department of E-Learning in Medical Education, Center of Excellence for E-learning in Medical Education, Medical School, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran Nasim Kajavirad nkhajavirad@yahoo.com 200319475328460088861 200319475328460088861 No Department of Internal Medicine, Imam Khomeini Hospital Complex, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran Kamal Basiri kamal.basiri@yahoo.com 200319475328460088862 200319475328460088862 No Prehospital and Hospital Emergency Research Center, Sina Hospital, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran Mahboobeh Khabaz Mafinejad m-mafinejad@tums.ac.ir 200319475328460088863 200319475328460088863 Yes Department of Medical Education, Medical School, & Health Professions Education Research Center, Department of Medical Education, Education Development Center, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran
