Medical Professionalism |
(MP1125) |
This is a 15-hour course provided to first year medical students to introduce the concept of social responsibility and professional commitment to the medical profession. It is aimed to sensitize the students to the professional conduct displayed by their role-model teachers and motivate them to imbibe professional skills throughout the program. This is evaluated by creative class assignments and a team-based project during the semester. The end of course exam is through an MCQ type and reflective exam using real-life scenarios. We aim that the students should
- Demonstrate the ability to manage themselves professionally in the college setting and in a simulated/real clinical setting.
- Demonstrate positive attitudes, collaborative teamwork, project management skills, professional conduct and leadership.
- Demonstrate ability to reflect, empathize, evaluate and communicate their commitment towards the society and medical profession.
