Although all healthcare providers have a role in providing tobacco cessation assistance, physicians and advanced practice providers are generally the only practitioners able to furnish tobacco cessation medications and bill insurance for their cessation services. Therefore, ensuring these practitioners are properly trained to offer tobacco cessation to their patients is critical to addressing this public health threat. In line with this goal, this study outlines the curriculum evaluation for an innovative studentfacilitated tobacco cessation activity for medical students.  \nMethods  \nA lecture and case-based learning activity was created and piloted with a class of first-year medical students. The activity was facilitated by fourth-year medical students. Students took a pre-session survey to establish baseline experience and beliefs and a post-session survey to ascertain their confidence in applying what was covered in the session. Descriptive statistics were utilized to analyze the data.  \nResults  \nOne hundred and twenty-eight students completed both surveys. Prior to the activity, students reported low levels of confidence in their ability to counsel patients and knowledge of cessation resources. Following the activity, more than 90% reported improvement in their ability to assess a patient’s willingness to quit and counsel those ready to quit. Greater than 80% reported an improvement in their ability to counsel patients not ready to quit and to establish a quit plan. More than 90% of students reported that the session increased their self-efficacy in helping patients quit and that it was worth their time, with 96% committing to increasing their tobacco cessation efforts with their patients.  \nDiscussion  \nStudents valued the training and almost all reported that it increased their ability to help patients quit smoking. The use of student-facilitated case-based learning provided both an opportunity for students to practice cessation techniques and a low-stakes introduction to the OSCE format without the need for extensive faculty resources. Although this session was run with first-year medical students, the curriculum presented can be used for residents, nurses, and other healthcare professionals.  \nCategories: Family/General Practice, Medical Education, Substance Use and Addiction  \nKeywords: case-based learning, motivational interviewing, nursing, residents, medical students, medical education,  \nsmoking cessation, tobacco cessation  \nIntroduction  \nTobacco use is responsible for a significant health burden, causing approximately 480,000 premature deaths annually in the United States alone [1] .
