In 2008, only 44% of US medical schools responding to a national survey offered a formal student-as-teacher (SaT) professional development program, yet all reported utilizing students as teachers. Medical education accreditation bodies worldwide have stated the importance of teaching as a core physician skill in their competency frameworks. In addition, residents charged with educational responsibilities of teaching their medical students and peers may be responsible for about one-third of the education in a clinical setting.
 
This highly interactive workshop will introduce student participants to a framework for medical education professional development and cover the fundamentals of curricular design, pedagogic strategies and education scholarship.
