Summary
Student-led seminars (SLS) are used as a teaching-learning strategy in the medical curriculum of the Gulf Medical University. Since students work in groups, they are expected to develop teamwork skills. Topics for SLS integrate across disciplines, have social and awareness components besides knowledge are not learnt in any other way during the course, have specific learning objectives and offer opportunities to explore beyond the textbooks and the medical disciplines. Communication and teamwork skills are assessed during the SLS. Though SLS is considered an important teaching-learning strategy, it had consistently received poor ratings in studentfeedback over the past 3 years. Student-led seminars (SLS) are being used as a teaching-learning method for undergraduate medical students in the Gulf Medical University, Ajman. Student feedback ranked SLS as a poor teaching-learning method. Objectives were to assess effectiveness of a modified format for student-led seminars in the undergraduate medical curriculum
