Competency Based Medical Curriculum: Challenge or Opportunity?

Abstract

We need to adopt system approach including Input, Process and output. In Input we need to identify smart system of Teaching Learning material and method which should involve students actively, we must develop in them reading habits through text books for deeper understandings of topics which will further develop analytic competency and generation of various questions regarding topics. The Process should be based on three aspects i.e. AIMS and Objectives based Teaching and Learning, Planning and Implementing TL Process in order to achieve the Aims and objectives, Planning and implementation of a scheme of Assessment again based on Aims and objectives. These all process must keep students engaged and must be students’ centric not Teachers’ centric.
