New Delhi : MBBS students will be soon imparted practical training from the very first year, as the Medical Council of India, is in the process of introducing a new practical based curriculum for undergraduate medical education in the country.
Currently the structure of the MBBS curriculum is that of a segmented curriculum. MCI is now working towards bringing a competency based Integrated curriculum. This will see a horizontal and vertical integration across current subjects and disciplines and students would be given clinical exposure from the first year itself.
" The new curriculum will provide early clinical exposure to medical students right from the 1st year. This will be done through integration of three aspects- classroom teaching, hospital based medicine and community medicine. The aim is to provide problem based learning and develop skill based competencies of medical students." said Dr Ved Prakash Mishra, Chairman, Academic Committee of the Medical Council of India which has prepared, the new curriculum.
