Abstract: Objective: Peer tutoring is crucial in supporting student success in health sciences education. The College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA) provides a structured framework for ensuring quality tutor training and professional development. We successfully designed, implemented, and accredited a peer tutoring program to enhance student learning and academic performance.
