The experience of interdisciplinary peer‐assisted learning (PAL)

Abstract

The sessions described provide opportunities for collaboration between medical and nursing students in the planning and delivery of teaching sessions. There are doubtless many other ways in which such interdisciplinary learning could occur, but to date very few have been described in the literature. This example is offered to encourage others to experiment in this important area, to share their experiences and approaches, and to stimulate further debate on the place of interdisciplinary learning and working in undergraduate health care curricula.
