Teaching Medical Students to Teach: A Narrative Review and Literature-Informed Recommendations for Student-as-Teacher Curricula

Conclusions Informed by these findings and outcome-based educational frameworks, the authors suggest 4 guiding principles for SaT curricula: (1) teaching skills training should be formally implemented in undergraduate medical education and should, whenever possible, be compulsory; (2) teaching skills should be taught longitudinally and progressively along the undergraduate to postgraduate continuum; (3) curriculum content should be aligned with a school’s preexisting curriculum and local context; and (4) authentic opportunities for students to engage in teaching roles should be included. They also propose recommendations for curriculum content, teaching modalities, and assessment methods.
