Abstract
Gatherings of individuals always produce dynamics that are distinct from those of our regular dyadic interactions. Our impressions of other people's likeability and our understanding of the group's objective are influenced by the environment that each individual in the group produces. Groups create norms, and new members diligently absorb into the atmosphere and practices of their new group, much as we are socialized into wider social and cultural standards in our daily lives. In group settings, there is an increased need to fit in, and some groups take advantage of this pressure with both beneficial and detrimental outcomes. Lastly, when a group of people collaborate to complete a task or realize an objective, there is a greater chance of both constructive and harmful conflict. Group work is essential to the medical education process because it helps students become effective leaders, communicators, lifelong learners, professionals, and clinicians. Since medical students will remember the subject for the rest of their life if they learn these things independently, it is imperative that they do it in a better way these days. Teachers can facilitate group projects, but students should do the majority of the work. Prior to coming up with a solution and presenting it, the medical students must first identify the problem and then collaborate to discover a solution.
