Physicians have a scholarly role, including educating others, be it patients, colleagues or students. This led UMC Utrecht to organize a one-week obligatory teacher training course for senior medical students and a six-week elective teaching rotation. Students who complete both may receive a student teaching qualification. They must show didactic skill, have experience with teaching and learn about medical education topics. ⋯ The senior students appear to attain the objectives of the rotation and evaluate it positively. The coordinating teacher-supervisors and the younger students are all generally satisfied to very satisfied with the student teachers. The curriculum benefits from the advisory projects and most essays are so well written that a selection is published as a booklet presented for teachers. These graduates start their career with a teaching qualification.
