Their curriculum innovation, entitled “From Boring Lectures to Buzzing Groups – Was it Worth It?” transformed a five-week module on Primary Care in year 5 of the M.B.Ch.B. undergraduate curriculum from teacher-centered didactic lectures to student-centered experiential learning using reciprocal peer teaching.
