        Purpose: The aim of this case report is to describe the design, implementation, and outcomes of a near peer instructor (NPI) placement for a physiotherapy student. Client Description: Participants included a year-2 placement student (the NPI), year-1 students from the McMaster Master of Science (Physiotherapy) programme, the anatomy instructor (AI), and the director of clinical education (DCE). Intervention: The AI and DCE designed a two day/week placement whereby the NPI developed and facilitated clinical application stations during scheduled anatomy and physiology (A&P) sessions with year-1 physiotherapy students. Measures and Outcomes: Students, the AI and NPI provided feedback through surveys for the purpose of placement evaluation. Implications: Three areas of impact of this placement model were identified: (1) greater perceived ability of learners to integrate A&P knowledge with clinical skills, (2) NPI growth in transferrable skills and the seven essential competencies required of physiotherapists in Canada, and (3) additional clinically relevant A&P curricular resources.
        Résumé: Objectif : décrire la méthodologie, la mise en œuvre et les résultats du stage de formateur quasi pair (FQP) d'un étudiant en physiothérapie. Description des clients : ont participé un étudiant en deuxième année de stage (le FQP), des étudiants de première année à la maîtrise ès sciences (physiothérapie) du McMaster University, l'instructeur d'anatomie (IA) et le directeur d'éducation clinique (DéC). Intervention : L'IA et le DéC ont conçu un stage de deux jours par semaine au cours duquel le FQP a créé et facilité des stations d'application clinique pendant les cours prévus d'anatomie et de physiologie aux étudiants de première année en physiothérapie. Mesures et résultats : les étudiants, l'IA et le FQP ont fait part de leurs commentaires par sondage dans le cadre de l'évaluation du stage. Conséquences : ce modèle de stage a fait ressortir trois secteurs d'impact : 1) une plus grande capacité perçue de la part des stagiaires à intégrer les connaissances en A&P à leurs habiletés cliniques, 2) chez le FQP, la croissance des compétences transférables et des sept compétences essentielles requises des physiothérapeutes au Canada et 3) les autres ressources du cursus d'A&P pertinentes sur le plan clinique.
