1ST YEAR MBBS, FOUNDATIONMODULE AVICENNA MEDICAL COLLEGE INTRODUCTION WHAT IS A STUDYGUIDE? It is an aidto: Inform students how student learning program of the semester-wise module has been organized Helpstudentsorganize andmanagetheirstudiesthroughoutthemodule Guide students on assessment methods, rules andregulations THE STUDYGUIDE: Communicates information on organization and management of themodule. Thiswill helpthestudentto contactthe rightpersonin caseof anydifficulty. Definestheobjectiveswhich areexpectedto beachieved at theendof themodule. Identifies the learning strategies such as lectures, small group teachings, clinical skills, demonstration, tutorial and casebasedlearning that will be implemented to achieve the module objectives. Provides a list of learning resources such as books, computer assisted learning programs, web- links,journals,forstudentsto consultin orderto maximize their learning. Highlights information on the contribution of continuous and semester examinations on the student s overallperformance. Includes information on the assessment methods that will be held to determine every student s achievement ofobjectives. Focuses on information pertaining toexamination policy, rules and regulations. CURRICULUMFRAMEWORK Students will experience integrated curriculum of the 1st &2nd semesters. INTEGRATED CURRICULUM comprises system-based modules such as foundation and blood which links basic science knowledge to clinical problems. Integrated teaching means that subjects are presented as a meaningful whole. Students will be able to have better understanding of basic sciences when they repeatedlylearnin relation to clinicalexamples. Case-based discussions, computer-based assignments, early exposure to clinics, wards, and skills acquisitionin skillslabarecharacteristicsof integrated teachingprogram. Page | 4
1ST YEAR MBBS, FOUNDATIONMODULE A VICENNA MEDICA L COLLEGE LEARNINGMETHODOLOGIES Thefollowing teaching/ learningmethodsareusedto promotebetterunderstanding: InteractiveLectures Hospital / Clinic visits Small Group Discussion Case-BasedLearning Practicals Skillssession E-Learning Self-DirectedStudy INTERACTIVELECTURES:In large group, the lecturer introduces atopic or common clinical conditions and explainsthe underlying phenomenathrough questions, pictures, videosof patients interviews, exercises, etc.Studentsareactively involved in the learningprocess. HOSPITAL VISITS: In small groups, students observe patients with signs and symptoms in hospital or clinical settings. This helps students to relate knowledge of basic and clinical sciences of the relevant module. TEAM-BASED LEARNING: Team-Based Learning is an evidence based collaborative learning teaching strategy designed around units of instruction, known as modules, that are taught ina three-step cycle: preparation, (b) in-class readiness assurance testing, and (c) application-focusedexercise. Page | 5
1 1ST YEAR MBBS, FOUNDATIONMODULE AVICENNA MEDICAL COLLEGE Preparation before class: Students must complete preparatory materials before aclassor the start of the module. Materials may be text, visual or other, and set at a level that is appropriate to the students and thecourse. In-class Readiness Assurance Testing: Students complete an individual readiness assurance test (IRAT), consisting of 5 to 20 multiple choice questions. After submitting their individual answers, and they take the sametest, the teamRAT(TRAT),with their team.All membersof eachteamsharethe sameTRAT score, and both IRAT and TRAT scores count toward the students grades. Instructor Feedback:Theinstructor reviews material from the RATthat seemsto be difficult for students. In-class application focused exercise: The remainder of the session is taken up with exercises that help students learn how to apply and extend the knowledge that they have pre-learned and tested. Teams are given an appropriate problem or challenge, and must arrive at a consensus to choose a best solution out of options provided. Teams then display their answer choice, and the educator facilitates a classroomdiscussionbetween teamsto explorethetopicandthe possible answersto the problem. SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION (SGD): This format helps students to clarify concepts acquire skills or attitudes. Sessions are structured with the help of specific exercises such as patient case, interviews or discussion topics. Students exchange opinions and apply knowledge gained from lectures, tutorials and self study. The facilitator role is to ask probing questions, summarize, or rephrase to help clarify concepts. CASE-BASEDLEARNING: A small group discussion format where learning is focused around a series of questions based on a clinical scenario. Students discuss and answer the questions applying relevant knowledge gainedin clinical andbasichealth sciencesduring themodule. PRACTICAL: Basic science practicals related to anatomy, biochemistry, pathology, pharmacology and physiologyarescheduledfor studentlearning. SKILLSSESSION:Skillsrelevant to respectivemodule areobservedandpracticed where applicablein skills laboratory or DepartmentofPhysiotherapy. SELFDIRECTEDSTUDY:Students assume responsibilities of their own learning through individual study, sharing and discussing with peers, seeking information from Learning Resource Center, teachers and resource persons within and outside the college. Students can utilize the time within the college scheduled hoursofself-study. E-LEARNING: E-Learning is a strategy by which learning occurs through the utilization of electronic media, typically the Internet. The basic aspects of medical professionalism and ethics will be addressed throughane-learningcourse. Page | 6

Utilize thelabto relatethe knowledge to thespecimensandmodels Labs available. A skills lab provides the simulators tolearn the basic skills and SkillLabs procedures. This helps build the confidence to approach thepatients. Video familiarize the student with the proceduresandprotocols to assist Videos patients. To increase the knowledge students should utilize the available internet resources and CDs/DVDs. This will be an additional advantage to increase Computer Lab/CDs/DVDs/Internet learning. Resources: Self Learning is scheduled to search for information to solve cases,read through different resources and discuss among the peers and with the SelfLearning faculty to clarify theconcepts.

1ST YEAR MBBS, SEMESTER 1 FOUNDATIONMODULE AVICENNA MEDICAL COLLEGE ASSESSMENTMETHODS: Theory (knowledge): Best Choice Questions (BCQs) also known as MCQs (Multiple Choice Questions) are used to asses objectives covered in eachmodule. BCQs: A BCQ has a statement or clinical scenario followed by four options (likelyanswers). After reading the statement/scenario student select ONE, the most appropriate answer/response from the given list ofoptions. Correct answer carries one mark, and incorrect zero mark . There is NO negative marking. Studentsmarktheirresponsesonspecifiedcomputer-basedsheetdesignedfor AVMC SampleBCQs: o A25yearoldpatientpresentedwith thecomplainofproductivecough,breathlessnessandwheezing.
