Abstract
Recent reviews of student-as-teacher programs call for early, longitudinal, and timely training in both learning principles and applied teaching skills. We describe a longitudinal elective for pre-clerkship students that includes interactive meetings addressing a range of theoretical and practical teaching topics and the tools needed to conduct medical education research.
