| description | Introduction: Indian Medical curriculum being discipline based,
there is a line of demarcation between preclinical and clinical
subjects. The challenges in medical education include the
methods that would enhance the clinical education quality; one
such method been Early Clinical Exposure (ECE). ECE can help
to instill the skill component of medical education in the first
year students helping to minimize the line of demarcation.
Hence this study was undertaken to assess the skill learning
of students through early clinical exposure and to collate the
perception of them.
Materials and Methods: In the present study, students of 1st
MBBS were exposed to ECE as an adjunct teaching method with
preset modules. They were evaluated by Objectively Structured
Clinical Examination (OSCE). Feedback was obtained from 1st
MBBS and also from the same students after passing the 1st
MBBS in 4th semester.
Results: Significant differences in pre and post OSCE scores
were noted (p<0.0001). Seventy six percent students rated ECE
as an excellent tool. Second year students also perceived ECE
held in 1st year was helpful to correlate topics and increasing
confidence.
Conclusion: ECE had an effective influence on learning as
manifested in skills gained by the students and their perceptions
of ECE being helpful prospectively in their routine clinical
posting. |
