Abstract
In the paper “A standardized workshop for Peer-Teaching simple interrupted sutures to medical students: Analysis of the student factors that affect outcomes.” the authors demon-strate and assess the implementation of standardized Peer Assisted Learning (PAL) suturing workshops in helping medical students attain technical competence in surgical suturing [1]. They were able to show in an elegant manner that surgical peer teaching is an effective method, with factors such as previous workshop experience and recent completion of a general surgery rotation being a factor in achieving better results [1]. These findings underscore the importance of active learning methods in surgical education, thus benefiting both the trainees and the trainers.
