Abstract Background and Aims The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic stimulated a paradigm shift in medical and surgical education from in‐person teaching to online teaching. It is unclear whether an in‐person or online approach to surgical teaching for medical students is superior. We aim to compare the outcomes of in‐person versus online surgical teaching in generating interest in and improving knowledge of surgery in medical students. We also aim the quantify the impact of a peer‐run surgical teaching course. Methods A six‐session course was developed by medical students and covered various introductory surgical topics. The first iteration was offered online to 70 UK medical students in March 2021, and the second iteration was in‐person for 20 students in November 2021. Objective and subjective knowledge was assessed through questionnaires before and after each session, and also for the entire course.
