POST-GRADUATE TEACHING |

 |
The department runs a formal teaching program which is conducted 4-days a week. This program includes a teaching ward round on Monday, seminar on Wednesday, journal paper discussion (journal club) on Thursday and Operative chat on Saturday. This program is run at 8-9 in morning. The M.Ch. students maintain ‘log book' about their academic program and also the operative program.
The MCh students are encouraged to think independently, to develop the habit of reading journals and be sensitive to the patients.
There is a ‘resident's competency evaluation system ' and a theory test is conducted every year.
The department is trying to provide more journals so that the students have access to all available literature. |
