Özet
Peer teaching in medicine is a valuable educational approach that benefits students and tutors alike. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the advancement of remote education in the medical field. In response, the Cerrahpasa Neuroscience Society organized a web-based, volunteer-based peer tutoring program to introduce students to central nervous system tumors. This viewpoint examines our peer mentoring experience in medical education. We discussed how we shaped the course, its positive effects, and the flexible nature of the course, which brought medical students from different regions together. In addition to evaluating academic results, we examined the social relations made possible by this unique teaching method by analyzing student feedback and test scores. Finally, we discussed the promise of global web-based mentoring, highlighting its significance in the dynamic and global context of medicine.
