All physicians, at some point in their career, are responsible for the education of their peers and junior colleagues. Although medical students are expected to develop clinical and research skills in preparation for residency, it is becoming clear that a student should also be expected to develop abilities as a teacher. A handful of institutions have student-as-teacher programs to train medical students in education, but most students graduate from medical school without formal training in this area. When such a program does not exist, medical students can gain experience in education through participation in peer teaching, course design, educational committees, and medical education scholarship. In doing so, they attain important skills in the development, implementation, and evaluation of educational programs. These skills will serve them in their capacity as medical educators as they advance in their careers and gain increasing teaching responsibility as residents, fellows, and attending physicians.
所有医生在其职业生涯的某个阶段都有责任教育同行和年轻同事。虽然医学生期望在准备住院医师实习的过程中发展临床和研究技能，但现在越来越清楚的是，学生还应该期望发展成为一名教师的能力。一些机构有学生作为教师的项目，以培养医学生的教育能力，但大多数医学生毕业后没有接受过该领域的正规培训。如果没有这样的项目，医学生可以通过参与同伴教学、课程设计、教育委员会和医学教育奖学金来获得教育经验。通过这样做，他们在教育项目的开发、实施和评估方面获得了重要技能。这些技能将在他们作为医学教育者的职业生涯中为他们服务，随着他们作为住院医师、研究员和主治医生承担越来越多的教学责任，这些技能将对他们有所帮助。
