In 2025 I started a PhD on Near Peer Learning with some great supervisors – here is the synopsis – https://medicine.unimelb.edu.au/school-structure/medical-education/research/graduate-research-students/andrew-coggins
I am placing my first informal output on this journey. This is a simple report of an existing programme in our sim centre that supports Junior Doctors (and other craft groups) as near-peer teachers in the Simulation Centres. This is accepted as an online AMEE Presentation 2025 Slides and talk here (ONLINE “SCOD” TALK).
I will add other reflections on this website regarding this important topic as I progress the PhD. I look forward to exploring this interesting area in medical education:
AMEE TALK BACKGROUND – ‘Challenges in delivering scalable simulation-based learning include the continuous recruitment and training of skilled faculty. Innovative approaches to faculty development in simulation remain under-reported. Near-peer-teaching (NPT) is an emerging concept whereby the teacher(s) are peers (one or two years ahead) of the learner(s). We describe a simulation faculty development programme that leveraged NPT to support early-career health professionals (ECHPs) in various simulation faculty roles.‘
