Peer reviewedGoetzel, Ronnie Z.; And Others – Journal of Medical Education, 1984

Nonprofessional faculty contact, support from fellow students, and stimulating discussions about medicine were the main benefits. (Author/MSE)

Peer reviewedGoetzel, Ronnie Z.; And Others – Small Group Behavior, 1983

Members shared many leadership functions and generally found the groups meaningful. (JAC)
