## TL;DR

This paper describes a training program for medical students to become peer educators in simulation-based learning, aiming to enhance their teaching and learning skills collaboratively.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the development and implementation of a student-co-created training program for peer-assisted simulation-based education.

## Key findings

- The program was collaboratively designed with medical students to ensure relevance and effectiveness.
- It aimed to equip students with the necessary skills to act as peer educators in simulation-based education.

## Abstract

Peer assisted learning is a useful strategy for medical students to learn from one another in a safe, structured capacity. As a pilot, we designed a training programme in collaboration with medical students to equip them with the knowledge, skills and abilities to act effectively as peer educators in simulation-based education.
