Abstract:

Objective To investigate the role and significance of peer-assisted learning (PAL) model in clinical internship teaching for severe cerebrovascular disease. Methods A total of 40 undergraduate interns in our department were practicing PAL in groups based on conventional teaching. These undergraduates, when finishing their interns, were examined in theory and practice, and received questionnaire for self-assessment and courses appraisal. Results The scores of theory and practice of those who received PAL were both higher than those who received conventional model which had significant differences (P <0.05). The self-assessment by those who involved in PAL were relatively satisfactory with knowledge in mastering both basic neurology theory and basic clinical practice. Conclusion The application of PAL in the teaching process, can stimulate students interests, improve their self-learning initiativeness, and satisfactorily enable practicing interns at the neurology department to master basic clinical practice skills.
