description Background & aim: Peer-to-peer learning is an educational method. Many studies have been conducted on peer-assisted learning, but it is not clear how many medical schools use different forms of peer-assisted learning and what the model and characteristics of peer-assisted learning were in their study. Because no study has comprehensively explained the characteristics of peer-assisted learning. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to determine and explain the characteristics of learning with the help of peers. Methods: The present qualitative study was conducted using the contractual content analysis method in 2021. First, a semi-structured interview was conducted with 5 medical education expert faculty members who were purposefully selected, and external and internal research conducted on peer-assisted teaching was collected, and the characteristics of peer-assisted teaching were collected from interviews and articles with the help of the technique. Qualitative content analysis was extracted. Interviews were entered into Max Kyuda version 10 software and data analysis was done using Granheim's content analysis method. Results: The findings included one main class, 13 sub-classes and 92 extracted codes, the sub-classes included peer characteristics, the person providing training or receiving peer training, how to provide training to peers or receive training from peers, planning for training with the help of Peers, evaluation of training provided by peers, supervision of providing or receiving training from peers, applicant for providing or receiving training from peers, place of providing or receiving training from peers, subject of providing or receiving training from peers, having an educational design, respecting rights The material and spiritual of peers, the conscious consent of peers, were the benefits of using peers. Conclusion: The characteristics of peer-assisted learning extracted in the present project may help to create a questionnaire to investigate the status of peer-assisted learning, especially among medical students in teaching hospitals.
