Abstract

University societies are student-led organisations which provide excellent opportunities for students to collaborate in a shared interest. Peer teaching is gaining recognition as an effective method of medical education. Peer teaching also provides student tutors with core educational skills and provides students with approachable peer mentors. This article offers practical guidance on organising, planning, executing and sustaining peer teaching via a medical education society at university and outlines the supporting literature.
