AE: Students as Teachers

0 credits · School of Medicine

The goal of this course is to prepare immersion phase medical students to become effective teachers as residents by providing a foundation in medical educational theory and research and by fostering the development of clinical teaching skills. Interactive course sessions run longitudinally and are designed to promote discussion on core medical education literature and trending topics. This is complemented by multiple opportunities to practice teaching skills, including during an observed structured teaching experience, and to receive mentoring and feedback from medical educators. Students can also complete a mentored medical education project. This course is one year and runs from March to February. There are required mandatory course sessions in the evening as well as a required number of teaching activities. Registration for the course takes plan in the Winter and occurs outside of YES. To register, look for an email from the Students as Teachers Student course Directors. [0]
