Abstract
Introduction. Peer tutoring refers to when a student from an upper grade teaches a student from a lower grade. The aim of this work is to evaluate the competence in physical examination acquired by medical students through peer tutoring, and to determine the students' satisfaction with this form of teaching in their clinical training. Material and Methods. An observational and cross-sectional pilot study of physical examination workshops conducted by a student tutor using the peer tutoring methodology was carried out. Results. Six physical examination workshops were conducted, distributed in 72 sessions, with the participation of 85 students, of which 50.6% were in their third year and 49.4% in their second year. Each student attended, on average, 2.5 sessions, with a range of 1 to 8 attendances. A significant improvement in knowledge was observed pre and post workshop in the six workshops (mean: 2.4 points, p<0.001), with this improvement being greater in the pulmonary auscultation workshop (mean: 3.6 points; p<0.001) and in the neurological examination workshop (mean: 2.9 points; p<0.001). The improvement in acquired knowledge was greater in second year students (mean: 2.8 points) compared to third year students (mean: 2.2 points; p<0.001). Student satisfaction with the workshops was high. Conclusions. Peer tutoring is a learning method that allows improving physical examination skills in medical students.
