Over multiple years, the didactic concept of "peer-assisted learning" (PAL) has proved to be valuable for medical education. Particularly in the field of the nowadays widely established Skills-Labs, the assignment of student tutors is both popular and effective. The aim of the underlying study is to assess the current status of PAL programs within German medical faculties' Skills-Labs regarding their distribution, extent, structure and content based on a nation-wide survey.
All 36 medical faculties in Germany were contacted and asked for their participation (via telephone or in written form) in the survey encompassing 16 central questions as to the structure of established PAL programs. Data obtained were subject to quantitative and qualitative analysis.
35 of 36 (97.2%) medical faculties participated in the survey. A PAL program was shown to be established at 33 (91.7%) faculties. However, the results show distinct differences between different faculties with respect to extent and content of the PAL programs.
Among German medical Skills-Labs, PAL has been established almost ubiquitously. Further studies on the conception and standardization of training concepts appear to be pivotal for the advancement of PAL in the context of Skills-Labs.
多年来，“同伴辅助学习”（PAL）的教学理念已被证明对医学教育具有重要价值。特别是在如今广泛设立的技能实验室领域，安排学生导师既受欢迎又有效。本研究的目的是通过一项全国性调查，评估德国医学院校技能实验室中PAL项目在分布、范围、结构和内容方面的现状。
联系了德国所有36所医学院校，并邀请它们（通过电话或书面形式）参与这项包含16个关于现有PAL项目结构核心问题的调查。对获得的数据进行定量和定性分析。
36所医学院校中有35所（97.2%）参与了调查。33所（91.7%）院校设立了PAL项目。然而，结果显示不同院校在PAL项目的范围和内容方面存在明显差异。
在德国医学技能实验室中，PAL几乎已普遍设立。在技能实验室背景下，进一步研究培训理念的构思和标准化对于PAL的发展似乎至关重要。
