• Medical education has a history of tinkering with the curriculum endlessly without realizing larger educational objectives.
• Medical Schools have yet to create a true learner- centered environment that makes active, self-directed learning under the close tutelage of interested faculty members .

“I never try to teach my students any thing.
I only try to create an environment where they can learn”
Albert Einstein

The Goal of Medical Education
• The ultimate aim of the MBBS program is not only to enable medical graduates acquire competencies related to knowledge, skill and attitude required of a medical graduate on completion of undergraduate medical education but also to provide sufficient opportunity to them to become familiar with the know how of medical informatics that would ultimately help them work efficiently.
![Page 13: Medical education in India](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061321/555ade75d8b42a024a8b51f1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Medical informatics• Health informatics or medical informatics is the intersection of
information science, medicine and health care.
• It deals with the resources, devices and methods required to optimize the acquisition, storage, retrieval and use of information in health and biomedicine.
• Health informatics tools include not only computers but also clinical guidelines, formal medical terminologies, and information and communication systems.
• Subdomains of (bio)medical or health care informatics include: clinical informatics, nursing informatics, imaging informatics, consumer health informatics, public health informatics, dental informatics, clinical research informatics, bioinformatics, veterinary informatics, and pharmacy informatics.

SPICES Model of Medical Education
• Student-centred ---Teacher-centred• Problem-based---- Information-
oriented• Integrated -----Discipline-based• Community-based ----Hospital-
based• Elective ----Uniform• Systematic ---Apprenticeship

e-learning
• Learning process facilitated by technology
• An additional arm to the teacher’s armamentarium
• e-Learning provides an environment that transforms teacher centric to learner centric learning .
![Page 17: Medical education in India](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061321/555ade75d8b42a024a8b51f1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Problems of Traditional teaching and benefits of e-learning
• E-learning has the potential to enhance both the students and instructors educational experience.
• Traditional didactic lectures often fall short in meeting the different learning styles of pupils.
• e-learning allows- students to access the lectures and other material when they are most attentive.
• In addition, students have the ability to review the material to the degree they feel necessary.
