Reason for Policy

The purpose of peer assessment is to help students help their peers develop their clinical and professionalism competencies. Participation in peer assessment in medical school is also intended to prepare students for professional practice. Peer assessment in residency programs is commonplace, and it is a professional obligation that physicians in practice are expected to fulfill.
