An Integrated And Modular Guide Book For Preclinical Students: Endocrine System Module

Abstract

The Endocrine Module primarily deals with the endocrine organs, hormones, physiological & biochemical functions and the pathological changes. Doctors of the 21st century will be more challenging and holistic in their professional practice. Therefore, they will have to acquire mastery in all three major domains (cognitive, psychomotor and affective) of learning. To achieve that, an integrated medical curriculum has been chosen, and being implemented to make our future graduates more competent & confident in their profession. It is therefore imperative to teach & learn all the basic pre & para-clinical subjects concurrently with the relevant clinical exposures. Remember that most of the information will be conveyed through the conventional didactic lectures, but some of the areas will also be covered through demonstrations, practical, tutorials, and ILA and PSS sessions in the form of small group teaching.
