R. Sethi, D. Kotasthane

Abstract :

The governing body for medical universities and colleges, the Medical council of India (MCI) rolled out a new competency based medical education (CBME) curriculum from the academic session 2019 onwards. One of the major changes envisaged was the introduction of “Foundation Course”. Being a novel concept for learners as well as facilitators, subsequent feedbacks are essential. Thus the objective of the study is to present a feedback report of the various modules of the course and develop modifications for future implementation. The study was undertaken on 150 students enrolled in the undergraduate medical course for the academic session. The responses of pre–designed feedback questionnaire were graded on a psychometric scale for analysis. A positive qualitative response of highest degree was observed in majority of the items of the feedback questionnaire. The course is the need of the hour taking into consideration the changing trends in the community.
