Abstract
The introduction of Early Clinical Exposure for first year undergraduate students in the Curriculum by the National Medical Commission since 2019 will help them to recognize the relevance of basic sciences. The aim of our study was to see the effectiveness of Early Clinical Exposure as a teaching‐learning tool in Physiology for first year undergraduate students. This was an educational interventional study conducted on 100 first year undergraduate students in a Govt. Medical College of India. Total 50 students were involved at one time, while the remaining were taught the same topic through didactic lectures simultaneously. Each session lasted for 3 hours as per NMC norms. The same set of peer reviewed Multiple Choice Questions were given to both sets of students which were compared. In addition the perception of the students and faculty was taken about these sessions. The mean score of the study group was found to be significantly higher as compared to the control group. More than 85 % of the students rated the program to be ‘Very Good –Excellent, showed eagerness to learn more topics through this intervention (62%) and rated the guidance provided by the faculty to be excellent (52%).Total 8 faculty members were involved in this study who rated this Teaching Learning Methodology to be Excellent (>75%). Early Clinical Exposure can be considered to be an effective teaching tool for first year undergraduate medical students. If planned and implemented properly it can be adopted as a teaching strategy to introduce the various dimensions of the medical profession.
