education MBBS CURRICULUM BEING REVAMPED The “outcome-driven” syllabus aims to expose students to the actual clinical significance of what they are taught 12 / FUTURE MEDICINE / DECEMBER 2018
DR SUMIT GHOSHAL Students joining the MBBS course in medical colleges throughout the country from August 2019 onwards would be educated and trained according to a new Competency-Based curriculum recently approved by the Board of Governors of the Medical Council of India. Those who are already in their senior years would continue with the old curriculum, which was set up in 1997. In addition to the usual medical subjects such as Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology, Pharmacology, etc, the new curriculum will have a few additional subjects like Attitude, Ethics and Communication, which are expected to equip the students with the skills needed to deal with patients. This was a long felt need among senior clinical practitioners all over India. THIS IS A MAJOR DEPARTURE FROM THE PREVIOUS SYSTEM WHERE EXPOSURE TO THE CLINICAL ASPECTS OF ANY ANATOMICAL STRUCTURE WOULD BE VERY MINIMAL The new syllabus is also being described as “Outcome-driven”, which means that students are being exposed to the actual clinical significance of what they are taught, right from the start of their training. Thus, along with the lectures and practical lessons given in the Anatomy Department on “the various joints and subtypes and examples”, they are also exposed to their clinical importance in orthopaedics. Likewise, the segment on skin and deep fascia would be “vertically integrated” with the basic features of dermatology, venereology and leprosy. DECEMBER 2018 / FUTURE MEDICINE / 13
