LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS FOR UNDERGRADUATE MEDICAL STUDENTS

Abstract

Learning Environment for Medical Students is defined as everything that happens within the classroom, department, university, Teaching Hospital, or outside, that is essential in determining the success of undergraduate medical students. Learning environment for undergraduate medical students has two major areas: Medical College, and Teaching Hospital. Each one of them has many components. Each component has its own learning style, dynamics and rules to follow. Each learning environment provides students an opportunity to interact with peers and teachers, to have frequent feedback, to apply their learning in other situations, and to experience diversity. Classroom/Lecture Hall, Laboratory, Museums, Tutorial Room, College Auditorium, College Library, Play Grounds, Patient Bedside, Outpatient Department, Operation Theatre, Demonstration Room, Community Health Centre, MCH Centre, Vaccination Centre, and even the Examination Hall are all parts of learning environment of an undergraduate medical student.
