INTRODUCTION<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">One of the aspects of Good Medical Practice outlined by the General Medical Council (GMC) for all medical professionals is to \u201cbe willing to offer professional support to colleagues, including students, through teaching\u201d (General Medical Council, 2023). The role of doctors as teachers has been widely recognised as they need to teach and educate juniors, students and even patients (General Medical Council, 2011, 2015, 2023). On average, junior doctors spend around 80 minutes per day teaching medical students (Busari et al., 2002). This task is daunting for every new medical graduate who has just begun their UK foundation programme. They need to assume this responsibility with minimal formal training and preparations (Pierce et al., 2024; Qureshi et al., 2013). <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Therefore, it is beneficial to motivate medical graduates to teach and equip them with appropriate teaching skills as early as their undergraduate programme (General Medical Council, 2011; Knobloch et al., 2018). Near-peer teaching involves students one or more academic years ahead teaching their peers or junior students<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> (De Menezes &amp; Premnath, 2016; Ten Cate &amp; Durning, 2007; Yu et al., 2011). This has long been thought of as a programme to be incorporated into the medical curriculum to optimise teaching qualities and to produce more competent and knowledgeable doctors in the future (Botelho et al., 2022; Burgess et al., 2014; Zheng &amp; Wang, 2022). Generally, medical schools provide a safe space for medical students to practice, correct and improve their teaching and pedagogical skills (Hardie et al., 2022). Most medical students feel less daunted and more supported involved in teaching their near-peer students (Yu et al., 2011).<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">To address this gap of insufficient teaching opportunities, most medical schools provide near-peer teaching programmes for their medical student<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\"><sup> <\/sup><\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">(Frearson &amp; Gale, 2017). However, most of the near-peer teaching programmes are carried out formally with structured guidance and training (General Medical Council, 2011), be it in the form of the Peer Assisted Learning Scheme (PALS) student-selected components (SSC) (Furmedge et al., 2014; Hettle &amp; Morgan, 2019; Ross &amp; Cameron, 2007; Ten Cate &amp; Durning, 2007) or Doctors as Teachers and Educators training course (Cook et al., 2010; General Medical Council, 2011). Little is known about the outcomes of the student-led, student-run, near-peer teaching (NPT) programme in medical schools. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">In the academic year 2023\/2024, the Newcastle University Medicine Malaysia (NUMed) final-year medical students were involved as near-pear teachers in an NPT programme. This study thus aims to evaluate the outcomes of participation of the final year medical students as near-peer teachers in the student-led near-peer teaching programme and to determine whether the soon-to-be medical graduates can fulfil the \u201cDoctors as Teachers\u201d responsibilities stated by the GMC.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\"><\/span><strong><span lang=\"EN-GB\">II. METHODS<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-MY\">The NPT Programme was a purely student-led, student-run 3-month teaching programme which provided additional focus on the learning outcomes of the third-year medical curriculum. This programme functioned as an adjunct to the formal curriculum and provided precious opportunities for final-year medical students to improve their teaching skills.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-MY\">Before the academic year started, invitation email was sent out to recruit final-year medical students to participate voluntarily as the near-peer teachers and the year 3 medical students as the near-peer students. A total of 51 final-year medical students and 100 year 3 medical students signed up for this programme. The near-peer students were randomly assigned to groups of 5 to 6 each, and each group was guided by 3 near-peer teachers. Before the programme commenced, all near-peer teachers were required to attend a mandatory online training course conducted by <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">t<\/span>he lecturers to enhance their presentation and teaching skills.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-MY\">This programme comprised a total of twelve teaching sessions spanning twelve weeks, covering four sessions of Essential Clinical Placement teaching sessions, four sessions of Case-Based Discussion, one surgical teaching topic and case-based session, one Single Best Answer practice session, one Written Prescribing Exam (WRISKE) session and one Objective Structural Clinical Examination (OSCE) session. Most sessions were delivered virtually (Zoom) or physically, depending on students\u2019 preferences, except for the OSCE session, which was always conducted physically. The teaching materials were prepared by the near-peer teachers beforehand and distributed to the students after each teaching session. The NPT programme coordinator supervised and provided necessary support to both near-peer teachers and near-peer students throughout the entire programme.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-MY\">The near-peer teachers and near-peer students consented to participate in this study via written consent. <\/span><span lang=\"EN-MY\">A structured post-participation Likert 6-point scale \u201cPeer Tutors Own Assessment\u201d questionnaire with written consent, which was adopted from Liew et al. (2015), was sent to the near-peer teachers after this Near-Peer Teaching Programme via Google form to explore their perceived benefits in three components which are 1) Skills Enhancement, 2) Motivation and 3) Career Direction [Expectation]. This questionnaire (Appendix 1) contains 14 items, with responses scale from strongly disagree (1) to strongly agree (6). Cronbach\u2019s alpha was 0.801, 0.714, and 0.814 for the domains of skills enhancement, motivation, and career direction.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-MY\">Similarly, all the near-peer students who participated in this near-peer teaching programme were given the Peer Tutor Assessment questionnaire adopted from Liew et al. (2015), to fill in via Google form (Appendix 2). This questionnaire is to assess the acceptability of the teachings of the near-peer teachers. It contains 16 items that evaluate five domains: (1) Responsibility and Respect, (2) Information Processing, (3) Communication, (4) Critical Analysis, and (5) Self-Awareness. Subgroup analyses were conducted to evaluate whether sex and student background affect self-perceived outcomes of near-peer teachers using independent T-test. Each participant was given 3 weeks to complete the questionnaire. Several reminders were sent via email throughout these 3 weeks to each participant to encourage them to fill in the questionnaire. <\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">Both near-peer teachers and near-peer students\u2019 data were checked for normality. The asymmetry fell between -1 and +1 and assumed relatively symmetrical and mesokurtic. <\/span><span lang=\"EN-MY\"><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\"><\/span><strong><span lang=\"EN-GB\">III. RESULTS<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">A total of 51 medical students in their final year signed up as near-peer teachers. Of these, 28 near-peer teachers completed the questionnaire (response rate 54.9%), while 49 out of 100 near-peer students who joined this NPT programme responded in this study (response rate 49.0%). Among those near-peer teachers who responded, there were 9 (32.1%) males and 19 (67.9%) females. More local students responded in this study than international students (75% vs 25%). The overall mean age \u00b1 SD of the near-peer teachers is 23.75 \u00b11.21 years old.\u00a0 For the near-peer students, the overall mean age \u00b1 SD is 21.69 \u00b1 0.74 years old. The number of international and local near-peer students who responded was similar.

Most of the near-peer teachers considered this programme improved their skills in terms of teaching, organising, communicating and understanding educational principles (Table 2). 100% of them agreed that this NPT programme increased their confidence in speaking to groups and enhanced their planning and organising skills.\u00a0 Furthermore, all 28 respondents (100%) reported being more motivated to revise their own clinical skills and focus more on their practical skills after teaching near-peer students to address the <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">knowledge gap. A significant proportion of near-peer teachers felt more encouraged to participate in more teaching programmes in the future (n=27, 96.43%) and more inclined to help fellow students next time (n=25, 89.28%).\u00a0 It is noteworthy that 96.43% of near-peer teachers agreeing that this NPT programme helped in deciding their career direction and motivated them to undertake more trainings. Besides, three quarters of them would consider teaching as their major career pathway in the future, with a mean score of 4.36 \u00b1 1.34.

The outcomes of their participation concerning their perceived benefits in terms of skills, motivation, and expectations were investigated. Overall, the near-peer teachers reported that this NPT programme helped them tremendously to improve their skills in terms of learning and teaching, which might be driven by their primary motive for joining this programme. This finding was similar to previous studies, which showed skills enhancement in volunteer near-peer teachers (Buckley &amp; Zamora, 2007; Liew et al., 2015). Our study further reaffirms the plausibility of a student-run NPT programme to enhance teaching and learning skills. However, due to the voluntary nature of participation in this near-peer teaching programme, the students who are likely most in need of skill enhancement may have been omitted from this programme, and they might be less equipped to teach after they graduate. Some studies recommended more incentives to be given to such students to encourage them to make use of the opportunities offered (Buckley &amp; Zamora, 2007). <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">The motivation evaluated includes both self-actualising inner motivations to improve their clinical and practical skills and the external, tangible desire to help fellow students. The high motivation score suggests the reinforcement of a desirable attitude towards future educational and teaching responsibilities, which matches the GMC\u2019s emphasis on the teaching role of doctors (General Medical Council, 2015). A couple of reasons may explain this: firstly, the near-peer teachers are final-year medical students, who will sit for their final examinations very soon and are desperately finding ways to improve their learning. The process of teaching, which requires extensive preparation, a comprehensive understanding of the content, dynamic synthesis, and anticipation of the questions that may be asked of them, forms an efficient learning strategy. Secondly, the near-peer teachers, inspired by the excellent teaching they once had, wish to impart good teaching to the near-peer students going through the same journey. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Although many near-peer teachers are more motivated to be involved in more teaching and even take up teaching training courses in the future, the influence is not apparent in the long-term career direction. This could be explained well by the brief intervention of this NPT programme that lasted 3 months. However, the lucrative income opportunities in other medical specialities and the limited exposure to medical education pathways in undergraduate medical schools are some factors that may sway them away from considering medical education as their primary career pathway (Puri et al., 2021; Sarikhani et al., 2021). Therefore, more effort should be directed to increase teaching opportunities and to raise awareness of medical education career options in the undergraduate medical school programme. This includes developing Student Selected Components focusing on medical education and giving opportunities to shadow clinical teaching staff (Liew et al., 2015; Wilson et al., 2008). <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">After participating in this study, the near-peer students evaluated the near-peer teachers highly in all the domains. This provides a strong indication of the recognition and acceptance of the teaching skills of the near-peer teachers. In addition, the ability of the near-peer teachers to demonstrate responsibility and respect throughout this programme shows their preparedness to work under the GMC with desirable attitudes and professionalism. Previous studies have also shown that near-peer teachers gain more subjectively and objectively than students (Liew et al., 2015; <\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">Ten Cate &amp; Durning, 2007<\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\">). This can be related to the underpinning of the psychological and social theories behind the dynamics between near-peer teachers and near-peer students (Loda et al., 2019). The theoretical model of cognitive and social congruence explains the positive evaluation of the near-peer teachers (Loda et al., 2019; Rollmann et al., 2023). The proximity of age between the near-peer teachers and the near-peer students enables them to share similar knowledge frameworks, language and social roles.\u00a0 Besides, near-peer teachers are perceived to be more approachable and understanding of the needs and struggles of the near-peer students. This may be because the near-peer teachers have had similar experiences themselves. Therefore, near-peer teachers are better able to process difficult concepts and frameworks, emphasize the key points, and communicate the information using familiar and non-confusing language to ensure that near-peer students comprehend better (Loda et al., 2019; Loda et al., 2020). The perceived barrier to providing feedback to near-peer teachers is also lower compared to faculty-led staff, as the age difference between them is much smaller. This might suggest why near-peer teachers feel less offended by criticism and are more likely to accept and respond to criticism gracefully (Loda et al., 2019). Nevertheless, the near-peer students thought that some near-peer teachers experienced some difficulties in giving relevant input and summary of the sessions, thus necessitating more structured pedagogical training for near-peer teachers in this aspect. Mastering these teaching skills would allow the near-peer students to appreciate better the big picture and key takeaway points of each lesson (Khaw &amp; Raw, 2016). <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">One of the focuses of this study is to analyse the sex-specific difference of the perceived outcomes of the near-peer teachers. Although there is an appropriate twice female near-peer teachers who responded to this study compared to male near-peer teachers, the results shows that the sex-specific difference in the perceived improvement in motivation, skills and career direction is not significant. There is no sex-specific difference in term of enthusiasm and motivation to involve in near-peer teaching (Messerer et al., 2021).\u00a0 Throughout the whole process, they receive similar gender-equitable support and guidance without any discrimination. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\">V. <\/span><\/strong><strong><span lang=\"EN-GB\"><\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\">LIMITATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">As few studies have reported outcomes for a purely student-led student-run NPT programme, this study offers valuable insights concerning the perceived benefits for near-peer teachers. However, this study has several limitations. Firstly, given the relatively small sample size of the near-peer teachers and the subjective nature of the self-reported questionnaire, the results may benefit from further objective testing, such as correlation with examination results. Secondly, this study is only carried out in a single medical school, with a slight variation in the implementation of the NPT compared to other institutions. Verification of these results across various medical schools would strengthen these findings. This study thus calls for more structured student-led peer teaching programmes to be implemented in more medical schools and to be assessed longitudinally to evaluate the association between the student-led peer teaching programme and the outcomes of participation of the near-peer teachers. It may also be worthwhile to investigate and assess the perspective of near-pear teachers who demonstrated interest in medical education, as well as to evaluate the long-term outcomes in career direction for medical graduates who once participated in near-peer teaching programmes. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\"><\/span><strong><span lang=\"EN-GB\">VI. CONCLUSION<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">In conclusion, this purely student-led, student-run near-peer teaching programme likely improved the final-year medical students in fulfilling the \u201cDoctors as Teachers\u201d responsibilities outlined by the GMC. Besides, the near-peer teachers also reported having positive outcomes in their skills and career direction.\u00a0 Likewise, from the perspective of the near-peer students, the near-peer teachers demonstrated outstanding skills and professionalism in all five domains: responsibility and respect, information processing, communication, critical analysis and self-awareness. Possessing the skills and professionalism fulfils the expectations of GMC for healthcare professionals to provide the right care at the right time with the right skills for the good of patients.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p align=\"center\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Notes on Contributors<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Kevin Xuan Hong Tang was a final year medical student who conceptualised and designed the study, reviwed the literature, conducted the data collection and analysis, prepared the figures and wrote the manuscript. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Koon Kee Teo was a final year medical student who reviewed the literature, collected and analysed the data, prepared the figures and helped in writing the manuscript. <\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Kye Mon Min Swe is an Associate Professor in Education Research in NUMed.
