The approach of students as facilitators is an innovative teaching-learning approach that highlights the active involvement of students in guiding and supporting the learning experiences of their peers. It not only enhances students’ understanding and retention of knowledge but also fosters a sense of ownership, responsibility, and professional growth. As institutions plan to implement the strategy of employing students as facilitators, they must keep a few things in mind to ensure that the intended learning outcomes can be accomplished. In conclusion, the use of students as facilitators in the field of medical education acts as a transformative approach to learning. In fact, the employment of this approach can result in better student engagement, improved retention of knowledge, promotes collaborative learning, and also prepares them for their future roles as health-care professionals. This calls for the need for all institutions to explore the possibility and introduce students as facilitators of teaching-learning methods to supplement conventional teaching methods.
