Academic Medicine, v65 n12 p733-34 Dec 1990

The Medical College of Pennsylvania uses outstanding senior students as teaching assistants for sophomore students needing additional observation and feedback to increase clinical skills. The seniors are less threatening than faculty and may give more effective feedback. Both student groups are satisfied with the program. (MSE)
