4.  Teaching Programme

4.1 General Principals

  • Acquisition of practical competencies being the keystone of postgraduate medical education, postgraduate training is skills oriented.
  • Learning in postgraduate program is essentially self-directed and primarily emanating from clinical and academic work. The formal sessions are merely meant to supplement this core effort.

4.2 Teaching Sessions

  • The teaching methodology consists of bedside discussions, ward rounds, case presentations, clinical grand rounds, statistical meetings, journal club, lectures and seminars.  
  • Along with these activities, trainees should take part in inter-departmental meetings i.e clinico-pathological and clinico-radiological meetings that are organized  regularly. 
  • Trainees are expected to be fully conversant with the use of computers and be able to use databases like the Medline, Pubmed etc.
  • They should be familiar with concept of evidence based medicine and the use of guidelines available for managing various diseases.
