Introduction: The Graduate Medical Education Regulation 2019 introduced by NMC which is a statutory body for regulating Medical Education in Indiarepresents the last major revision to the medical curriculum since 1997. Attitude, ethics and communication module teaching is new to medical educators and students as it was always been a part of hidden curriculum. Role modelling and mentoring associated with classical approach is no longer sufficient for development of a medical professional. Hence it is important to study the perception and expectations of students which might be a contributing factor to improve the efficacy of this newly introduced modules. Hence the present study was taken up with the aim of studying the perceptions of students on AETCOM module to assess the appropriateness of teaching learning methods used and improvise on our teaching methods based on the feedback from the students. Methods: A cross sectional study was done among 150 first year MBBS students on AETCOM module sessions. Data was collected by using a self-structured validated questionnaire consisting of 5 point Likert scale. Results: Majority (91%) of the students felt that the topics covered were relevant. 88% of students felt that objectives of the sessions were met. 66% of the students suggested to include more videos and role play in the teaching sessions. Conclusion: The AETCOM sessions were received positively by the students which would enable them to function effectively as envisaged in the revised Graduate Medical Education Regulations. |
