摘要
Healthcare education is shifting faster than ever, and, keeping pace feels like a daunting challenge for many students. Relying solely on lectures or clinical rotations isn’t cutting it anymore—students need something more dynamic to connect their academic learning to real-world practice. One approach that’s catching attention is IT-facilitated peer tutoring. Imagine blending tech tools with collaborative learning—it’s about students helping each other out while leveraging the latest technology. And the results? They’re impressive. Studies over the last few years (2020–2024) show that this model doesn’t just help students ace exams; it also equips them with crucial hands-on skills they’ll need as professionals. What’s exciting is how IT tools personalize and energize the learning experience. IT-facilitated peer tutoring feels like a game-changer for healthcare education—bringing theory and practice closer together. This review dives into these findings and offers a glimpse into how this method might redefine student learning and preparation for clinical challenges.
