چکیده
Introduction The GMC has emphasized the importance of teaching skills for doctors and recommended that training for these skills is introduced early on in the medical education curriculum. One way to achieve this is in the form of nearpeer assisted learning, where junior medical students are taught by senior ones. We here report the development of an extensive near-peer teaching project at the University of Birmingham and its impact on tutees. To evaluate the impact this near-peer teaching project has had on the perception of junior medical students of their confidence in their knowledge of the topics covered.
