  1. INTRODUCING INTEGRATED LEARNING PROGRAM IN NERVOUS SYSTEM FOR FIRST YEAR UNDERGRADUATES : EXPERIENCE FROM INDIAN MEDICAL SCHOOL SARMISHTHA GHOSH,HIMANSHU PANDYA, SK SINGH, RAKSHA BHAT, N.HARIDAS, HH AGRAVAT PRAMUKHSWAMI MEDICAL COLLEGE KARAMSAD, GUJARAT 388325

  2. INTRODUCTION • Dividing medicine into disciplines is an artificial construct • The real world of medical practice is transdisciplinary in a large part. • Learning facts become easier when they are learnt in a relevant and meaningful way • GPEP report, GMC[UK] recommendations stress the need for greater integration of subjects in medical curriculum • Medical Council of India recommends both horizontal and vertical integration in undergraduate medical education • Modular approach has also been recommended alongwith incorporation of problem based learning.

  3. OBJECTIVES Curriculum Committee and Basic Science faculty of the Pramukhswami Medical College designed an Integrated Learning Program for the Central Nervous System for the First year MBBS batch 2006-2007 students • To develop and implement an integrated module on Central Nervous System in basic sciences • To focus on integrated learning using multiple teaching learning modalities • To demonstrate the feasibility and importance of an integrated learning program in preclinical phase of medical education in a college following traditional medical curriculum

  4. Content delivery METHODOLOGY 1. Didactic Lectures 2. Interactive Lectures 3. Case Based Learning [CBL] 4. Group Seminars by students 5. Dissection/ Demonstration / Practical Laboratory exercises 6. Hospital Visits with patient contact Series of meetings Formal meeting with all faculty of basic Science Departments Identification of Learning Objectives on CNS Histology, Embryology

  5. DURATION OF THE MODULE - 6 WEEK TOTAL NUMBER OF HOURS : 199 END OF MODULE INTEGRATED ASSESSMENT ON ANATOMY, PHYSIOLOGY & BIOCHEMISTRY OF CNS IN A CASE VIGNETTE FORMAT Evaluation of the program by a structured questionnaire STUDENTS BASIC SCIENCE FACULTY

  9. RESPONSES OF THE BASIC SCIENCE FACULTY

  10. 1.Interdepartmental discussions amongst basic science faculty 2. Interdepartmental discussions amongst basic and clinical science faculty 3. Integrated assessment of Students of Phase I 4. Coordination & Group activity towards implementationof ILP

  11. Recommendations

  12. 1. ILP has improved the understanding & application of basic science knowledge of first year students in health & disease 2. ILP will help the students perform better in University exam [Oct 2007] 3.ILP will help students to perform better in later days of their clinical exposure 4. The concept of ILP is interesting

  13. 5. ILP has helped me develop positive attitude towards medical education 6. I developed better interpersonal skills in terms of listening, giving, discussing, receiving criticism 7. ILP requires too much of time and is not worth all the effort 8. ILP helped me develop the ability to accept and work with faculty of different nature and subject background

  14. ILP- better performance in University Phase I exam. FACULTY OPINION STUDENT OPINION

  15. ILP - better performance in later days of clinical exposure FACULTY OPINION STUDENT OPINION

  16. Conclusions • It is possible to introduce Integrated Learning Program in Phase I of a conventional medical curriculum • A lot of cooperation and coordination between departments is required to make such a program a success. • Majority of students rated the program as good to very good with reference to appreciation, understanding and application of basic science knowledge in health and disease • Different teaching learning methods were rated differently by the students. • Lectures with interaction, group seminars, hospital visits with patient contact as well as hands on practicals were more appreciated as compared to other methods.

  17. Faculty expressed overall satisfaction towards ILP[CNS] though they showed concern over the implementation of ILP approach for all systems in basic sciences • The interaction amongst the basic science faculty and between basic and clinical science faculty resulted in cooperation and collaboration which is reflective of attitudinal change in faculty • Considerable success in the implementation of this program for the first time in our Institution laid the foundation of adopting ILP in other systems in Phase I as well as for Phase II and Phase III.
