Article Synopsis
- * A study was conducted with 100 underachieving first-year medical students to evaluate the effectiveness of the FC method in teaching cardiovascular physiology, comparing their performance on pre-tests and post-tests over a four-week period.
- * Results showed a significant improvement in student scores from pre-test to post-test, and a majority of students felt the objectives were clear and the study material was relevant, though only a minority thought classroom time was effectively used for peer learning.
Background: Mini-CEX assesses clinical competency and is mainly used as a formative assessment tool. Its use in postgraduate training is well documented. However, Mini-CEX would play a significant role in training undergraduate medical students, especially with the commencement of competency-based medical education in India.

Further, the most essential procedural skills across medical curricula which need to be taught during their III-year clinical posting are often not considered. The purpose of this study was to identify the core procedural skills needed to be taught during the III-year undergraduate medical students clinical posting.

This study aims to design, develop, implement, and evaluate the educational outcomes of training modules for a list of essential skills that MBBS students in a tertiary care teaching hospital in South India need to learn as part of their competency-based MBBS curriculum.
Materials And Methods: This sequential transformative mixed method study will be implemented in three phases: i) identification of essential skills for simulation-based training following the modified Delphi method, ii) development of skill training modules using ADDIE model of instructional design, implementation of the modules and collection of data on the educational outcomes and iii) a qualitative study involving in-depth interview and focus group discussion on understanding the potential for incorporating the modules into the present MBBS curriculum.
Background: Script concordance testing is widely practiced to foster and assess clinical reasoning. Our study aimed to develop script concordance test (SCT) in the specialty of otolaryngology and test the validation using panel response pattern and consensus index.
Materials And Methods: The methodology was an evolving pattern of constructing SCTs, administering them to the panel members, and optimizing the panel with response patterns and consensus index.
