  • the state of ophthalmology medical Student Education in the united states and canada 2012 through 2013
    Ophthalmology, 2014
    Co-Authors: Manjool Shah, Daniel W Knoch, Evan L Waxman
    Abstract:

    Objective To characterize the state of ophthalmology medical Student Education in the United States and Canada. Design Survey of United States and Canadian medical schools. Participants One hundred thirty-five Association of University Professors of Ophthalmology (AUPO) member institutions were surveyed, along with 30 osteopathic medical schools in the United States and 40 non–AUPO-affiliated allopathic medical schools in the United States. Methods A survey characterizing preclinical, clinical, and extracurricular exposures to ophthalmology was used. Main Outcome Measures Response rate, presence of, and types of preclinical and clinical exposures. Results Response rates to the survey were lower from non-AUPO institutions. Preclinical exposures largely consisted of basic lectures and examination skills, and most responding institutions had some sort of required preclinical ophthalmology experience. Clinical exposures were more variable, with an overall rate of required clinical rotations diminishing. Conclusions There continues to be a gradual erosion of the role of ophthalmic medical Education in the standard medical school curriculum. Clearly, there is room for improvement across all types of medical Educational institutions.

  • When learners become teachers: a review of peer teaching in medical Student Education.
    Family medicine, 2014
    Co-Authors: Kristen L Bene, George R. Bergus
    Abstract:

    Background and objectives Peer teaching engages Students as teachers and is widely used in K-12 Education, many universities, and increasingly in medical schools. It draws on the social and cognitive congruence between learner and teacher and can be attractive to medical schools faced with a growing number of learners but a static faculty size. Peer teachers can give lectures on assigned topics, lead problem-based learning sessions, and provide one on one support to classmates in the form of tutoring. Methods We undertook a narrative review of research on peer teachers in medical school, specifically investigating how medical Students are impacted by being peer teachers and how having a peer teacher impacts learners. Results Studies have shown that peer teaching has a primarily positive impact on both the peer teacher and the learners. In the setting of problem-based learning courses or clinical skills instruction, medical Students' performance on tests of knowledge or skills is similar whether they have faculty instructors or peer teachers. There is also strong evidence that being a peer teacher enhances the learning of the peer teacher relative to the content being taught. It is common for peer teachers to lack confidence in their abilities to successfully teach, and they appreciate receiving training related to their teaching role. Conclusions We find evidence from several different Educational settings that peer teaching benefits both the peer teachers and the learners. This suggests that peer teaching is a valuable methodology for medical schools to engage learners as teachers.
