A Comprehensive Students-as-Teachers Program: Developing and Empowering Future Medical Educators
摘要
We describe the development of two formats of a Students as Teachers (SaT) program that was designed to train fourth-year medical students as near-peer teachers in the pre-clinical classroom. This program has served 191 students since its inception in 2017 through a 2-week credit bearing elective or an evening workshop series. We describe key elements of the courses and positive outcomes of our program within a learning communities’ framework. We present these data for other institutions interested in creating their own SaT program.
