Abstract

Elliott Yann Ah-kee,1 Robert Adrian Scott,1 Ahad Shafi,1 Aamir Asif Khan21Department of Surgery, Monklands Hospital, Airdrie, UK; 2Department of Surgery, Glasgow Royal Infirmary, Glasgow, UK Peer-assisted learning (PAL) has progressively become omnipresent in medical education over the years and is widely considered as beneficial for both the tutors and tutees.1 Involvement in PAL schemes as medical undergraduates acts as a platform in preparing junior doctors to become the next generation of leaders in medical education. Indeed, experience gained as an undergraduate PAL tutor can be carried forward into foundation years following graduation.
