Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Collaborative Learning
  • Pedagogy

Background:

  • Peer-assisted learning (PAL) is an increasingly recognized pedagogical approach.
  • Its application in medical education is growing, yet documented experiences remain scarce.
  • This study addresses the need for practical guidance in implementing PAL programs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To share practical insights from a student-led Peer-assisted learning program.
  • To provide a framework for initiating and managing PAL initiatives in similar institutions.
  • To contribute to the limited documented experience of PAL in medical education.

Main Methods:

  • A Peer-assisted learning program was designed and executed by students.
  • Experiences from program initiation, operation, and evaluation were systematically recorded.

  • Key learnings were distilled into actionable recommendations.

    • Main Results:

    • The program provided valuable learning experiences for both tutors and learners.
    • A comprehensive set of 12 tips for running PAL programs was formulated.
    • These tips address crucial aspects from organization to evaluation.

    Conclusions:

    • Peer-assisted learning is a viable and beneficial educational strategy in medical schools.
    • The formulated 12 tips offer a practical guide for establishing and running effective PAL programs.
    • Sharing these experiences can facilitate the wider adoption of PAL in academic settings.
