Highlights
The study evaluates the effect of modular teaching on the knowledge, attitude and practice of medical students related to immunization
Medical education in India is largely compartmentalised into basic sciences, paraclinical and clinical branches; this makes learning fragmented and difficult for students
Various countries have already developed guidelines and structured their curriculum based on the principles of integrated teaching; this includes the General Professional Education of the Physician report (Kirby, 1987) ACMI-TRI project report (Swanson & Anderson, 1993) and recommendation of the General Medical Council, UK (General Medical Council, 1993)
Summary
The study evaluates the effect of modular teaching on the knowledge, attitude and practice of medical students related to immunization. Medical education in India is largely compartmentalised into basic sciences, paraclinical and clinical branches; this makes learning fragmented and difficult for students. Problem solving in clinical cases and community scenarios involves understanding and assimilation of the principles of all branches of medicine related to the issue at hand. This can be achieved with the help of integrated teaching. Various countries have already developed guidelines and structured their curriculum based on the principles of integrated teaching; this includes the General Professional Education of the Physician report (Kirby, 1987) ACMI-TRI project report (Swanson & Anderson, 1993) and recommendation of the General Medical Council, UK (General Medical Council, 1993). Even though evidence favours this method of teaching, it has still not become popular in medical colleges in India
