Teaching tomorrow’s doctors: Medical students’ reflections on learning to teach

Medical education increasingly emphasises incorporating teaching opportunities to undergraduate medical students to prepare them for their future academic and clinical roles. One approach to integrate teaching skills into the undergraduate medical curriculum at the University of Bristol, is through the Student Choice Project (SCP). SCPs allow undergraduate medical students the chance to engage in specialist study within an area of interest. Examples of SCPs include time in the anatomy room, learning about AI in healthcare, and exploring yoga as a wellbeing aid. This blog focuses on a SCP which offers the opportunity to learn how to teach.
