Description
• Near-peer tutoring (NPT): Tutors are more advanced than tutees, typically offering support in understanding complex concepts.1
• Reciprocal peer tutoring (RPT): Students with similar levels of training alternate between tutor and tutee roles, facilitating collaborative learning.1
• Peer tutoring fosters professional development and improves long-term retention of complex medical concepts.3,4,5
• Reproductive anatomy is a challenging area for many medical students; Innovative peer tutoring methods may help improve understanding and retention of anatomical structures.
• We hypothesize that integrating NPT and RPT within the laboratory setting in the reproductive organ system course will enhance student motivation, self-efficacy, and long-term retention of reproductive anatomical structures.
