The study of medicine poses an immense burden on the medical students to become competent in all the core competencies. Medical students understand the learning requirements of their peers and thus senior students or peers can significantly help to achieve learning outcomes. Peer-assisted learning has been implemented in both undergraduate and postgraduate courses in clinical as well as classroom settings. It is quite beneficial as it makes the learning process interactive, more focused, and conducted in a relaxed atmosphere. It also reinforces points that require more attention.
