Abstract

In medicine, effective teaching is requisite for both successful patient care and trainee development. However, opportunities for medical students to gain exposure to pedagogical principles and hone teaching skills are currently limited. Our initiative provides avenues for medical students to intentionally develop their teaching skill set from an early stage.
