q2 i? Peer teachers were not equivalent to faculty in all aspects: ocular ultrasound, echocardiography, basic theory, and preclinical students without anatomical knowledge favored faculty instruction. → Winter Lone 2024

q2 · i? · review · r2

Review synthesis of subgroup findings: the review reports ocular ultrasound as more difficult for peer teachers (Ahn et al.), faculty-instructed students achieving better echocardiography performance (Kühl et al.), and faculty superiority for preclinical students without prior anatomical knowledge (Knobe et al.).

"In musculoskeletal ultrasound, the comparison of student and professional teachers showed the superiority of faculty in teaching preclinical students without prior anatomical knowledge."
