Why is it important?
The paper suggests that peer teaching is liked by medical residents as a tool to learn hospital medicine. Other institutes can use similar programs and ideas to enhance the educational experience of their learners during medical wards rotations.
Perspectives
I was excited to know that medical residents liked the idea and wanted their peers to do the teaching instead of their attendings. I was also delighted that they thought it created a better learning enviroment for them during one busy and important rotation in their resdiency training.
