The Internal Appraisal consists of three parts –

1. Part I - Conduction of theory examination

2. Part II - Performance Counseling Sessions on the performance in the theory examination

3. Part III - Work place based clinical assessment

The benefit of internal appraisal for the faculty is that they are able to determine what the students already know and to what extent. They can decide what minor modifications or major changes in the training programme are to be introduced so that all trainees can succeed in upcoming assessments. They can create appropriate lessons and activities for groups of learners or individual students and also inform students about their current progress and guide them.

The benefits of internal appraisal for students are that they become motivated to learn and take responsibility for their own learning. They can learn valuable lifelong skills such as self-evaluation, self-assessment, and goal setting and become more adept at self-assessment.

The hospitals shall be submitting a report of the internal appraisal conducted by them in the format Annexure - 1 which is available on page number 13 of this handbook.
