INTRODUCTION The rationale of this module is to expose a beginner to the hospital and community in
/RATIONALE
multiple disciplines at the start of their medical career.
Early hospital exposure will help the student to overcome his / her own feeling of hesitance
from patients. It will also inculcate interest in the medical students to see patients with
different ailments. They will learn basic bed side manners and other skills and attitude
necessary for a healthy doctor- patient interaction.
On the other hand by going to the community, our medical students will appreciate the
relationship of factors in the community leading to disease development. This will help
students understand how disease prevention can be done by improving health education,
community behavior and modification of the environment. They will understand the
community health problems and national / international efforts to solve them
The student will be exposed to concepts of research, basic requirement for research and will
develop the competency for research.
COMPETENCIES KNOWLEDGE
Student will be able to know the structure of basic and tertiary health care system
Student will be able to know the common complaints with which the patients come
in various disciplines of hospital.
Students will be able to understand the basic components of history and
examination that form the basis of diagnosing a clinical problem.
Students will be able to understand the basic components of demographic profile of
the community and various vertical / horizontal health care programs working in
rural areas
SKILL
Students will be able to take history in a proper sequence for different clinical
problems in various specialties.
Students will be able to demonstrate steps of clinical examination.
o Students will be able to collect the data regarding various health problems
o The student will develop basic competency for research. They will be able to
develop research tools for collection of data and research material. They will
also be able for research writing specially literature review, compiling results,
discussion and references. At the end will be able to publish the research in
reputable journals.
ATTITUDE
Students will be able to demonstrate communication skills while taking history from
the patients.
Students will be able to demonstrate bed side manners while examining patients
