Description
Julia Sgrott and co-authors report a 2026 study of a short revision course, led by fellow students, for international medical students in Germany. The course covered medical psychology and medical sociology, subjects where newcomers often struggle with both language and local expectations.
Thirty students took tests before and after the course, with two test versions swapped between groups to keep the check fair. Scores rose clearly after the revision days, a gain the statistical test marked as strong. The authors read the result as proof that fellow students can teach effectively, not just staff. They urge medical faculties to spread such peer programs, which also help newcomers settle socially into their new country.
