Medical Education Unit

MEU conducts various workshops for the faculty as well as PG students from time to time.

1. Basic Workshop in MET/Revised Basic MET & AETCOM workshop:- There have been burgeoning developments and changes in the medical education. For instance, the role of teacher has changed from information giver to facilitator, mentor & creator. The information & communication technology has revolutionized the teaching & learning process. It is, therefore, essential for teachers not only to be aware of these new developments but also suitably adopt & apply them in their teaching. Equipping medical college teachers to take on these roles through training, therefore, assumes importance. Hence, MET workshops (MCI/NMC recognized) are being conducted on regular basis to train the faculty regarding various aspects of teaching-learning, assessment & evaluation, feedback as well as Attitude, Ethics & Communication (AETCOM). Faculty are also encouraged to undergo Advanced training in MET e.g., ACME, FAIMER etc.

2. Basic workshops in Research Methodology:- To fulfil the role of an Indian Medical Graduate (IMG) as a researcher, the institute along with the Dept of Community Medicine has conducted several MUHS recognized Research Methodology workshops for the postgraduate students to introduce them to the basics of research. Such workshops are also being conducted for the faculty.
