The Curriculum for the Medical UG and PG is determined by the MCI. Curricular reforms can be adopted only for

Curriculum delivery. Curricular reforms are deliberated in the curriculum committee meetings and then discussed

in Board of studies meetings. As and when the need is felt changes are done with respect to addition or deletion of

a few topics. Each BOS (Preclinical, paraclinical and Clinical) meets regularly to the strategies for curricular

improvement and approves it. Student representatives are present in BOS. The Institution has appointed Assoc

Dean for Academics, Quality and compliance, who guides and oversees the implementation of the approved

changes. Recently the Curriculum committee was reconstituted as per the specification of the regulatory body. In

the year 2015, small group teaching and innovative methods for teaching was introduced. In 2018, 17.52% of

was conducted across the pre and paraclinical subjects. Feed back on curriculum is taken. Any difference in score

of 0.2, the departments need to send the root cause analysis to the MEU and take corrective/ remedial measures.

The institution has a Medical education unit which is very active and conducts a number of Faculty development

programmes which benefit the faculty and help them improve their instructional methods. In the last year,

findings are communicated to the faculty, for them to reflect and review their teaching methodologies. Slow

learners are regularly monitored and counselled and helped to improve. To facilitate the MCI directive of small

group teaching and Vertical Integration, MEU conducted workshop on SGT and Integrated teaching. MEU also
