PEER-LED LEARNING IN MEDICAL EDUCATION: NAVIGATING BENEFITS AND CHALLENGES FOR NURTURING EXPERTISE
Abstract
This study delves into the realm of peer-led learning in medical education, aiming to navigate the intricacies of its implementation by exploring both the benefits and challenges associated with this pedagogical approach. Through a comprehensive examination of existing literature, empirical studies, and firsthand experiences, the research sheds light on how peer teaching nurtures expertise among medical students. The findings underscore the multifaceted advantages, such as enhanced collaboration and communication skills, as well as the potential hurdles, including issues of peer acceptance and instructional consistency. By offering insights into the dynamics of peer-led learning, this study contributes to the ongoing discourse on effective teaching methodologies in medical education.
