Becoming a physiotherapist - a qualitative study exploring students' perspectives on peer assisted learning in physiotherapy education

CONCLUSION: Overall, we found that PAL study groups formed an important community of practice, and that the PAL leaders became important role models, providing academic, social, and emotional support. Students learning from students in PAL study groups seemed beneficial to bridge theory and practice. Our findings support the implementation of PAL study groups as a supplement to formal teaching and suggest that PAL aids students' transition to the university environment.PMID:37995204 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2023.2284169
