Quality assessment of a training program for undergraduate sonography peer tutors: paving the future way for peer-assisted learning in medical ultrasound education.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Peer tutoring has been increasingly used to support university sonography teaching, necessitating well-qualified tutors. This study aims to evaluate the quality of a training program for sonography peer tutors developed and implemented at a university hospital.

Materials and methods
