Medical Educator Development in Primary Care (near peer ssc) 23.24

Barts and London SMD Near-Peer Student Selected Component

 Welcome to the Medical Educator and Clinical Development in Primary Care student-selected component (SSC), which aims to facilitate Near-Peer educator development in a Primary Care setting.

We have created this module to encourage students to develop their skills as educators and mentors through teaching and supporting younger year students who are undertaking a Community Based Medical Education (CBME) placement. Students will also have the opportunity to design teaching sessions and materials and apply for QMUL SEED, an educator development award. We hope to improve students’ knowledge of teaching methods and their ability to provide feedback to learners.
