摘　　要：To evaluate the satisfaction of medical students from Students Peer Advising activities, its strengths, limitations and how it can improve. Students Peer Advising （SPA） was initiated by students in order to support collaborative and experiential learning. In this approach, senior students provided and shared their educational experiences with junior students individually or in large groups. Advice was mainly on how to succeed in this demanding student centered educational program. Two groups were investigated, the committee members （Advisors） and the students （Advisees） who attended the SPA events, by using a self-administered questionnaire. One hundred and thirteen advisees responded. 74 （65%） advisees provided a score of 4 or 5 out of 5, with 5 being the most satisfactory and useful, when inquired about the overall satisfaction and usefulness of peer advising. SPA committee consisted of fifteen members, of whom thirteen responded. Fifteen sessions were conducted by members from different academic years, and they all agreed that it was a beneficial experience. The most rewarding aspect of their experience revolved around the gratification and sense of satisfaction consequent to improving the students＇ academic performance. The study found that peer advising was appreciated by students and peer advisors.
