Specialized training is the most crucial turning point of education in obtaining the professions related to medical sciences. Peer learning has advantages, including saving time and eliminating the limitations of traditional education. The purpose of current educational program during the COVID19 pandemic was to reduce students’ stress and more accepted in the parasitology PhD exam.

Faculty members and MsC Students in the Department of Medical Parasitology, Yazd medical university, performed the present developmental study based on the reference books and curriculum. First, a training virtual platform was designe using a topic, picture, video of a parasite or parasitic diseases between the learners under the supervision of all the scientific members. Learners designed questions and their answers for each title in the virtual platform. In the end, to help the students to participate in the PhD exam, two virtual pre-exams were also designed. Finally, the satisfaction level of faculty members and students, as wll as their stress level's was evaluate using Excel software.

Of 25 student participants, six succeeded in the first stage and finally, three of them were accepted in the second stage of the parasitology Ph.D. exam in the 2021-2022 academic years. Implementation of this peer learning method was also effective in reducing the stress level of students in the Ph.D. exam.

Considering the success of the peer learning program using virtual learning in current study and more passing in the Ph.D. exam, it suggests that this plan will be implemented in other educational groups with postgraduate education.

The urgent need to use high potentials of higher education students is clearly felt in the medical sciences faculties. It seems that using peer education, which is one of the most widely used methods of constructivism, can somehow alleviate shortage of clinical teachers. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of using the peer assisted learning system in clinical education from the perspective of nursing students and compare it with the conventional method.

 The present study is a quasi-experimental study in which the research population consisted of 3rd semester students as interns and nursing students in the field of Rasht Nursing and Midwifery Faculty as peer educators. Data collection tool was a questionnaire containing general and specific items. Data were analyzed by descriptive and analytical statistics (Independent T-test, Chi-square, Fisher's exact test and Pearson correlation coefficient) in SPSS21 at a significant level of P≤0.05.

 The mean score of overall and general dimension in peer education group were higher than traditional group (respectively 149.47±23.91vs.147.19±24.78; 91.5±17.23 vs. 88.66±18.45), but there was no significant difference between two groups (P=0.68; P=0.48). Also, in the specific dimension of questionnaire, there was no significant difference between students' scores in two groups (P=0.81) and the mean scores of students in traditional group were slightly higher than those of peer group (58.54±11.55 vs. 57.97±9.16, respectively).

Considering the importance of the subject and the results of the study based on the higher scores of the case group in the overall and general dimension and the higher scores of the control group in the specific dimension, it can be seen that the peer assisted learning system is effective, in such a way that use the young forces of higher levels, i.e. master's degree, who have more experience and expertise, providing training and continuous evaluation and holding workshops to further enhance their specialized dimension, can be used. It’s also recommended that studies should be conducted to evaluate the level of learning and effectiveness of this system, taking into account the above mentioned issues.

Teaching and learning from peers is an effective educational intervention for health science students in clinical settings. Peer assisted learning is a situation in which people of an equal social group, who are not professional teachers help others to learn and they learn during teaching at the same time. The aim of this study was investigating the effect of using Peer Assisted Learning approach on clinical self-efficacy of nursing students in selected fields of Islamic Azad University of Medical Sciences in Tehran.
This study was a quasi-experimental and case-control research. Sampling was Census method and included 150 people. These subjects were divided into two groups of case and control by simple random sampling; the control group with conventional methods (by clinical instructor) and case groups by peer learning, experienced clinical education for 3 weeks. Data collection tool was included psychometric questionnaires by Cheraghi and et.al to assess self-efficacy in clinical practice with 4-point Likert scale in 4 domains. All students completed questionnaires before and after training. For data analysis were used software SPSS (Ver22) in descriptive level (measure of central tendency) and inferential statistics (independent t test, Chi-square and covariance analysis). In this study P˂0.05 was considered significant.
Descriptive findings show that with the loss of 9 people, 141 nursing students participated in the case group (68 students) and in the control group (73 students) finally. Students of the two groups did not differ significantly in terms of age, gender and habitat (native and non-native). The results of covariance assumptions showed that due to non-violation of the linear assumption, the homogeneity of the studied regression slope and the variance consistency of the data of the under study groups, research hypothesis have been confirmed(pIt seems that the use of Peer Assisted Learning approach has been effective in improving patient care dimensions by increasing the self-efficacy of students.

Peer assisted learning system is a new method in education. Regarding to the benefits of this system, the present study aimed to evaluate the attitudes of clinical medicine and basic sciences teacher's of Babol University of Medical Sciences on peer assisted learning. in this cross sectional- descriptive study, opinions of 238 of clinical medicine and basic science teachers about benefits of peer assisted learning, evaluated by questionnaire. Study population gathered by census. The collected data were analyzed using one sample t test, paired t-test and ANOVA. the results of this study showed that this system has the most impression in maintaining the important role of teachers in education (51.2%), increasing students self-confidence (47%) and provide timely and appropriate deposits feedback (47%). Satisfaction mean was not significant among sex, age and teaching experience and the mean was significantly greater than 74 (the index number). based on results, clinical medicine and basic science teacher's agreed with implementing of this system. Implementation of this active learning system would lead in capable work force.

One of the initiatives in education is Peer Assisted Learning system in which students play the role of teachers or their assistant. Regarding to benefits of this system, the present study aimed to survey the attitudes of medical and dental teacher's of schools at Babol university of medical science on peer assisted learning. Following a literature review, the researchers designed a questionnaire on benefits of peer assisted learning, then the study' population consisted of 214 medical and dental school teachers whom were selected randomly and, participated. The collected data were analyzed with Chi-square statistical test. The results showed that this system has the most impressions in student's self-confidence (50%) and student's communication skills (48.5%). Regarding to this results, it can be concluded that the dental and medical teacher's agreed with benefits and application of this system, As well as implementation of this active learning system would lead in capable work force.

Recently, there has been a shift of emphasis from teaching to creating an interactive and student-oriented atmosphere in education. One of the method in creating student oriented atmosphere is Peer Assisted Learning (PAL), in which students play the role of teachers, assistant, and enhance other students’ learning. Regarding numerous benefits of this system, the present study aimed to survey the attitudes of teachers and students at Medical School of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences on Peer Assisted Learning.

Following a literature review, the researchers designed a questionnaire about benefits of peer assisted learning, and the stages of its content validity. Pilot study and reliability were followed. The collected data were analyzed by SPSS 16.

The obtained results showed that an absolute maximum of the participants agreed with the potential benefits of performing the proposed system. Data analysis showed that students have significantly more agreement with PAL compare to the teacher-oriented method.

Regarding the obtained results, we concluded that teachers and students agreed with the benefits and application of PAL. Implementation of this active learning system would lead in productive and capable work force.
