Peer to peer education among internal medicine residents using digital platforms

ABSTRACT

Background: COVID-19 impacted all areas of our society, and we took advantage of new technologies such as telemedicine to deliver information. Peer education is another tool that can be used. Aim: To report the experience of peer education among residents using a digital platform. Material and Methods: A digital educational program was devised in which third year residents exposed different relevant topics in internal medicine to their first year peers using Zoom. The educational process was evaluated using a Likert scale. Results: A high level of satisfaction was found among the respondents according to the scale. Conclusions: There was a high level of satisfaction with the used methodology among first-year residents. A more exhaustive evaluation of this educational program should be worthwhile.
