Peer-Reviewed Reflective Writing by Phase II Medical Students: A Mixed-Method Study

Abstract

Background: Reflective writing is a critical educational tool in medical training, promoting self-awareness, critical thinking, and professional growth. Peer review adds a collaborative dimension to reflective practices, enhancing depth and clarity through constructive feedback. However, challenges such as limited guidance, time constraints, and language barriers may hinder its effectiveness. This study evaluated the impact of peer-reviewed reflective writing on second-year medical students at Government Thoothukudi Medical College, India.
