Peer-to-peer teaching is used in the course "Evidence-Based Physiotherapy" in the School for Physiotherapy, University Hospital Aachen, and in the physiotherapy degree program to promote media literacy of students and support self-directed learning. Important information on the disorders, treatment methods, and selected studies for different illnesses are collected and presented by the students.
