1. Post Graduate Medical Education Technology Workshop

The postgraduate students in medical colleges in India form a large workforce for the medical college for teaching-learning and assessment of undergraduate medical and other health professional courses run by the medical college. Many of these postgraduate students join medical colleges as teaching faculty soon after graduation. Some of the postgraduate students also have pedagogy as part of their summative assessment for their postgraduate courses. Thus, there is a need for postgraduate students in medical colleges in India to be trained in the basic principles of medical education especially in teaching-learning methods and basics of assessment and to develop competencies in these areas. Recognizing this need, the Medical Education Department conducts a two day workshop in teaching-learning and assessment for medical postgraduate students in CMC.
