This study aims to facilitate measures to increase the on-site response capabilities of firefighters by suggesting an appropriate curriculum for the inculcation of basic medical science disciplines through Borich needs assessment and the Locus and Focus model analysis by defining the learning outcomes. A survey was conducted among 188 firefighters and 48 paramedic students the results showed a need for microbiology (2.10) and public health (2.07) for firefighters, pharmacology (4.64) and anatomy and physiology (3.82) for paramedic student. The priority subjects identified in the High-High dimension of the Locus and Focus model for firefighters included public health, microbiology, anatomy and physiology. The learning outcomes, based on the level of present acknowledgment, showed a significant difference between the required and current level in 42 and 37 items of the questionnaires for firefighters and paramedic students respectively (p < .001). The highest discrepancy in priority, based on the level of present acknowledgment between firefighters and paramedic students were in: “sterilization and mechanism of antibiotic action (4th vs. 31st),” “pathogenesis of viral infection (1st vs. 23rd),” and “prevention of diseases and health promotion (14th vs. 36th).” The priority for paramedic students was “receptor-mediated drug response (25th vs. 4th).” Given the difference in the priority level of need of basic medical science disciplines between firefighters and students, an appropriate curriculum for paramedic students that also reflects the needs of firefighters should be developed.

Introduction: Medical students build their clinical knowledge from previously obtained basic medical science knowledge during the pre-clinical year. The pre-clinical performances have some predictive value in the clinical discipline. Basic Medical Science (BMS) taught in pre-clinical years also supported the development of clinical reasoning skills and critical analysis of medical intervention. This study explored the preference, attitude and perception toward BMS subjects among the pre-clinical medical students. Materials and methods: An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 189 pre-clinical students in a public university in East Malaysia by using the nine-scale statements questionnaires by West and co-workers. An independent sample t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation and simple linear regression were used to analyze the data. Results: Among 10 BMS subjects, anatomy (29.1%) is the most preferred, followed by pathology (24.9%). Subject preference is influenced by the interesting curriculum with the highest frequency of 100%, followed by clinically useful (75.0%). The majority of students found poor attitude and perception in some items. There is no significant difference in attitude and perception toward BMS subjects between Year 1 and Year 2 students, male and female, different pre-university programs, students with scholarship and self-finance, and having family members in the medical field and those without. Conclusions and recommendation: Different teaching styles of medical faculty along with coordination with clinical departments may help the students to be more interested in learning medical education. Further study on the teaching techniques that aid in positive attitude and perception of pre-clinical students should be done.

Background: Head and neck malignancies are common among males in India. The age adjusted incidence rate of head and neck cancer in India in males is 16.4/100,000 and in females it is 8.8/100,000.In All India Institute of Medical Science head and neck cancer represents 25% of all malignancies registered Methods: This prospective randomized study was conducted in the Department of Radiation Therapy & Oncology, Regional Cancer Centre, IGMC, Shimla and patients were enrolled for a period of one year, from July 2012 to July 2013.It included all the eligible, previously untreated patients of squamous cell carcinoma of Head and Neck with histologically confirmed diagnosis and no evidence of distant metastasis. The sites included were oro-pharynx, hypo-pharynx and larynx with stages III, IV A and IV B. Results: Grade 3 and grade 4 skin toxicities were higher in CRT arm but without statistically significant difference from that in ART arm. G3 & G4 mucositis was higher in the Concomitant CRT arm however the difference was not statistically significant. G2 and G3 Laryngeal Toxicities were higher in Concomitant CRT arm as compared to Accelerated arm but the difference was not statistically significant. G2 & G3 haematological toxicities were significantly (combined p value = 0.002) higher in the concomitant CRT arm (32.4%) as compared to Accelerated RT arm (2.9%). Only one patient in accelerated arm had any hematological toxicity. Conclusion: Higher peak incidence of toxicities was seen in concomitant CRT arm as compared to accelerated arm.

The aims of this study to find out the quality of E-learning based on learning media using Moodle LMS on text of observation. This type of research is development research in the field of education known as Research and Development (R&D). Development research (development research) is research that is used to produce certain products and test the effectiveness of these products (Tegeh and I.M, 2013). The result of this study show that The quality of e-learning based learning media using LMS Moodle which was developed as a learning media on the observation report text material is stated to be a useful and effective contribution in improving the quality of learning outcomes of 10th grade TJA1 Vocational School Telkom Shandy Putra Medan. This is because there is a significant difference in the learning outcomes of the average value of students before using e-learning based learning media (pre-test) ie 57.0 or only about 52% are able to exceed KKM and after using e-based learning media learning using LMS Moodle (post-test) the average value of students increased to 77.0% or can be interpreted as 100% of students able to exceed the KKM. Based on these data the difference is increased by 20% or can be interpreted student learning outcomes increased by 58%.

Background: Problem Based leammg (PBL) is increasingly becoming popular worldwide. The Department ofAnatomy at the College of Medicine University of Lagos recently introduced the problem based learning approach as the style of teaching physiotherapy students in their basic medical science year. Objective: This survey investigated the students' view of the programme, its impact on their learning as well as constraining factors. Methods: A questionnaire-based survey was conducted at the end of the basic science academic year. The sample was the whole of a group of physiotherapy student that went through the PBL programme of the Department for one year. Results were collated and data processed using computer Microsoft excel in windows office 2003 software. Results: Astatistically significantproportion ofthe group rated the programme favorably and indicated it was of benefit to their learning experience. Identified areas oftheir learning positively impacted on include; increase in amount of knowledge (81 %), better levels of interaction among colleagues (69%), improved literary research and problem solving skills (72%), higher level of confidence (81 %) and an increased eagerness for clinical school (95%). Conclusion: Problem Based Learning programme can be beneficial to pioneer physiotherapy students in basic medical science year even when it is administered newly by a Department that is still developing in the programme. Key Words: Problem Based Learning, Physiotherapy Students, Anatomy.
