Informal and formal peer-teaching in the medical school ecosystem: Perspectives from a student-teacher team.
ABSTRACT
This personal view drawn from the experiences of a medical student and a medical school lecturer outlines a position against the current trend of peer-led teaching being adopted into medical school curricula. Using a metaphor from physics, we highlight the need for a deeper exploration of the informal world of peer-teaching in medical schools which is a complex part of the educational ecosystem. We advocate caution in the rapid adoption of compulsory peer-teaching activities despite the possible theoretical and pedagogical benefits.
