Revised Basic Course Workshop in Medical Education Technologies (rBCW)

This program has been ongoing since 2009 though the contents have undergone periodic revisions, keeping in mind the changing needs of faculty and advances in medical education..

Training in Attitude, Ethics Communication (AETCOM) module

The AETCOM module endeavors to strike a balance between the five identified roles of an „Indian Medical Graduate (IMG)‟ viz; Clinician, Leader and Member of health care team, Communicator, Life-long learner and Professional, right from the first professional year of training. This module is based on the premise that changing a person's attitude can change his/her behavior. This module consists of various competency-based case scenarios to be conducted in small groups in the class rooms. The proposed teaching-learning and assessment methods for implementation of this module are also given across the three professional years. It was envisaged that the successful implementation of the AETCOM module will be the forerunner of the transition to competency based undergraduate medical education program proposed by and implemented now by the Regulator.

Curriculum Implementation Support Program (CISP)

The revision of the Undergraduate Medical Education Curriculum to the competency pattern in 2018 required focused training of faculty in the medical colleges on the content and nuances of the new competency based curriculum, sequentially and seamlessly by the experts advising the Academic Cell, thereafter to the Medical Education faculty in Nodal and Regional Centres and finally to the faculty in medical colleges. Participants included faculty from pre-, para-, clinical and surgical departments in the ratio of 10:10:5:5 for teaching the integrated curriculum.
