Students as Teachers is a 7-month student-led elective that equips first- and second-year medical students with teaching skills. Pre- and post-course surveys measured participants' knowledge and confidence level in the course's learning objectives such as creating lesson plans, engaging learners, and assessing understanding. Eleven students participated in the course and 10 students completed the pre- and post-course surveys. Upon completion of the course, there was a statistically significant increase in students' self-reported competencies. This series of workshops thus improved learners' confidence with teaching skills and helped identify how they could improve as physician educators.
