Since the declaration of a COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020 teaching institutions started the process of adjusting to the new challenge. Medical education could not be imparted the way it used to be and some new methods had to be taken to adapt to the pandemic. At our institute, each week two lectures were recorded and later uploaded on the Youtube Channel and shared with students. This was followed by an MCQs based test using Google forms. Ten lectures were delivered in 5 weeks to 55 participants.  Majority of residents agreed that this activity increased their knowledge of the subject and opted to continue it in future.  With help of short online lectures (< 30 mins) and short online tests (5 MCQs), the learning experience of residents can be enhanced. In future, more online resources can be used to incorporate this method of teaching.

In today's medical community, when people say the name Herman Boerhaave, most assimilate it to Boerhaave syndrome. His influence on medicine is seen every day in hospitals around the world. His methodologies revolutionized medical education and the way physicians approach the examination of patients. It has been said that during the Age of Reason, he was the “Bearer of the Enlightenment of Medicine.” He is a forgotten father of medicine. To preserve medical history, educators should give students a brief summary of the contributors to medicine to remind us how much of their lives they gave to further medical knowledge.

For decades, educators in the clinical sciences have been at the forefront of innovations in educational practices related to science and medicine. Ultimately, such innovations are often translated and implemented as best practices across the breadth of biomedical disciplines. Far from novel, competency-based approaches to higher education have been around since the 1960s. These have their origins in student outcomes-based models that focus on the assessment of demonstrated competencies through students’ applications of theory, learned in the classroom, to perform a task and/or resolve a defined issue or problem. Despite its long history of contributing to human medical education and, more recently, veterinary medical education, competency-based instruction is still rare in undergraduate biomedical education. Herein, we discuss the value of clinical education in leading the way toward competency-based, undergraduate biomedical programs.

Medical Teachers

Medical teachers need training in pedagogic techniques in order to become better teachers. Despite the fact that our teaching techniques improve gradually over the years as we gain experience and also owing to continuous practice undertaken for different kinds of teaching learning situations; nevertheless educational technology has evolved ways and means for better development of teaching skills even at earlier stages by undertaking some methodical exercises, one of which is Microteaching. Microteaching, an innovative technique of teacher training, helps teachers to improve their teaching skills. It aims at development of competence in teaching skills through the practice of microteaching sessions1. In other words, it teaches teachers how to teach. This is especially important in cases of new faculty implying the budding teachers. Even an experienced teacher can benefit by this technique, particularly for learning some new skills1. The individual may be very sound in his/ her own subject but may not necessarily be a good teacher.
