Abstract:
Volunteering as a peer tutor offers teaching experience to allied health students who will one day teach patients and colleagues. It also provides an opportunity for students to extend themselves personally and academically. Medical and nursing literature supports peer teaching, yet fewer publications describe the experience of allied health students. This study investigated the effects of cross-level peer tutoring in anatomy, for the peer tutors and their students. Peer tutors revealed their primary concern as lacking anatomical knowledge; however, students valued the currency of their student experience and the opportunity to discuss learning processes with a peer. Recommendations from peer tutors and students included: recognition of the value of interactions between students and peer tutors; value of teaching how to learn, rather than content; and for academics to introduce peer tutors as peers, which clarifies the students' expectations of the peer tutor.
