Pathology is a subject which bridges the basic medical sciences with clinical sciences in medical education. The undergraduate pathology classes in our Medical Colleges usually include didactic lectures, conventional practical and tutorial classes. The subject of Pathology can be made more interesting for the students by developing in them a proper understanding of the pathologic basis of disease at the 2nd MBBS level with clinical co-relation. One of the innovative method which can be used in this regard is case-based learning. I undertook this project to introduce case-based learning in undergraduate pathology teaching at Jorhat Medical College and Hospital, Jorhat for the second MBBS students. Both student's and teacher’s feedback were evaluated concerning their perceptions towards the method, its conduct and the various aspects of CBL.

Background: The need for case-based learning in basic subjects is being recognized world over. Early clinical illustrations and actual clinical exposure enable students to associate basic science and real patient situations, probably increasing their retention of knowledge. The study was conducted to introduce an alternate method of teaching-learning in pharmacology in a large classroom setting to integrate pharmacology into clinical setting for better learning and understanding of the subject. Methods: Ninety-four students of second professional MBBS of a medical college in Punjab were divided into 2 groups and were taught a 2-hour topic in pharmacology using case-based learning (CBL) method and didactic lecture (DL) method using a crossover design. Their attendance and written test score at the end of teaching session were compared. Feedback from students and faculty was taken by prestructured questionnaires. Results: There was an increase in students’ attendance ( P = .008) in CBL sessions but insignificant difference in their performance ( P = .98) in the tests. Most (84%) of the students felt that CBL is a better method of teaching-learning than traditional DL. The teaching faculty felt that the students looked more interested and were themselves more motivated for the newer method of teaching. Conclusions: Case-based learning led to improvement in student motivation, satisfaction, and engagement. Most students and faculty accepted that CBL was an effective learning tool for pharmacology teaching in a large group setting and supported the incorporation of CBL into traditional DL teaching.

Introduction: Active learning model using cooperative techniques such as Case Based Learning (CBL) has increased. In CBL, the instructor acts as a facilitator in the construction of knowledge. Clinical Biochemistry is concerned with methodology and interpretation of biochemical tests performed on the body uids and tissues, 1 to support diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of disease. Some change in the teaching learning method can enhance the interest of the students in the subject and they can apply the knowledge of the subject in diagnosis, treatment and follow up of a disease in their professional career. Aims and Objectives:To introduce CBL as teaching learning method and then:-1. Compare score of students by two methods of teaching- Traditional didactic lectures and case based approach.2. Evaluate student's and Faculty's feedback regarding their perception of case based learning. Method: The study was conducted in the Department of Biochemistry, MMIMSR, Mullana (Ambala) during six months period. 150 First professional MBBS students (Batch 2018-19) of MMIMSR, Mullana were included in the study.Pre and Post Test and prevalidated questionnaire (Based on Likert's scale) were used as tools for data collection. The students were divided into two groups: - Group A (n=75) (Study group): case based learning (CBL) was used as teaching learning method. Group B (n=75) (Control group): Traditional didactic lecture method was used as teaching learning method. Result: The Post- test scores of both the learning methods were statistically signicantly higher when compared to their respective Pre- test scores. (p<0.05). The Post- test score of CBL group was higher than that of Didactic lecture group (p <0.05). Conclusion: Both faculty and students wanted CBL sessions to be held in future as this makes Biochemistry a very interesting subject .So CBL should be incorporated along with Didactic lectures in the curriculum for MBBS students.

Objectives: Arthroscopy is becoming more popular as a specialty in recent times in India. We looked into the publications done by Indian authors in journals listed in the Scopus database. Materials and Methods: A search was carried out from the first publication until the end of 2019. The total number of publications was 638. We analyzed the output, looking into the top 10 authors, universities, journals in numbers, and citations. We also looked into the year-on-year growth of all articles and in each branch of arthroscopy to identify more academically active subspecialties. Results: There has been a steady increase in the number of publications in this branch of orthopedics with a steep increase after 2016. The knee joint was the most published, followed by the shoulder. Maulana Azad Medical College and Lok Nayak Hospital was the most published university, followed by All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi. We identify the limitations and make recommendations to identify ways to improve and increase academic activity in the subspecialty as a whole. Conclusion: There is a healthy trend of increase of publications on arthroscopy from India. Although the overall numbers published from India were a small fraction compared to global numbers, recent trends indicate increased interest in the subject. Higher quality studies and more contribution form private institutions is required over the coming years to boost the publications from India.
