| description | Background: Peer mentorship is the way of teaching in which the senior one member teaches his/her experiences, skills and techniques to the junior member. The senior member is mentor and the junior one is mentee.(1) This is different from the other way of typical teaching styles because senior members have vast experience and juniors have fresh theoretical knowledge, which is exchanged through peer mentorship.
Objective: To describe Pakistani post graduate physical therapy students‟ knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding peer mentorship.
Methodology: A quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted. A questionnaire was given to students. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics to describe the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of Pakistani postgraduate physical therapy students.
Results: Most respondents (58%) did not have any experience in a peer mentorship relationship. A few respondents (14%) reported having received formal training. Respondents showed positive attitudes toward peer mentorship 84% agreed that including peer mentorship is important, and 75% agreed that it can help the transition from student to professional. Most respondents (48 %) did not participate in a peer mentorship relationship during this month.
Conclusion: The response of students towards peer mentorship is positive but most of them had not enough knowledge about it. The research showed the importance of support from the university in this regard to overcome the hurdles in the way of peer mentorship. The results of this study gave a reason to support the peer mentorship for Pakistani post graduate students.
