Education Process


COMMUNICATION SKILLS AND ENGLISH LANGUAGE:

Many of our students have poor communication skills, both written and spoken. This department seeks to improve these skills through practical exercises.
There are two set of courses: A compulsory english course that all students must take and pass, and an english improvement class. Students for the improvement class are identified by a test assesing their english language ability. They are then taken through a series of specially designed exercises.

LEARNING PROCESS:

Students are encouraged to utilize theirt learning capabilities to the maximum. Apart from the traditional didactic modes of teaching, interactive lectures and participatory small group discussions are held with a tutor acting as a facilitator and providing maximum oppurtunity for students to express themselves. This learner centered approach encourages them to seek knowledge, not only from text-books, but also journals, and other learning resources. Problem-based community oriented learning and methodology is used in clinical teaching to make learning more relevant and contextual
