A program where fourth-year medical students (CC4) teach second-year students approaches to common Internal Medicine presentations.  CC4s were provided a primer on effective teaching strategies and structured case-based teaching guides to facilitate the sessions, and structured anonymous surveys were used for evaluation. In its first year, 64 CC4’s have helped teach clinical reasoning to 108 2nd year medical students.
