Achievements
The College has put together a well-integrated course structure to achieve better integration among the subject of study. This has become particularly important in the light of a changing curriculum and changing focus of medical education. Moreover, the College has successfully reduced the lecture-hours in lieu of small group teaching with the early introduction of clinical material to improve student interest and retention of learned material. Introduction of case-based learning in all the semesters will enable the students to learn the practical application of the basic sciences in patient care. The affiliations with major medical facilities and public health agencies are expected to produce better patient care in those service areas.
The evaluations are based on Preceptor evaluation, attendance in clinical activity and performance in a multiple choice written examination after each rotation.
Those who successfully complete both Basic Science & Clinical Science program and pass USMLE part I & II are eligible for graduation.
