Perspectives of undergraduate medical students regarding competency-based curriculum.
Background The competency-based undergraduate medical curriculum has a number of new elements. Few authors have attempted to understand the students' viewpoints on the curriculum. We assessed undergraduate students perspectives and ratings about various elements after 2 years of implementation of the curriculum. Methods We included 240 students (2019 and 2020 admission). An invitation letter-cum-information sheet was sent to all the students by email informing them about the study, keeping their identity confidential and the implied consent. A validated questionnaire based on a 5-point Likert scale including 35 closed-ended questions eliciting the students' perception on various elements of the new curriculum and a rating scale from 1 to 5 was designed. Data collection was done using Google forms. Results Of the 240 respondents, 192 (80%) had positive perceptions for the Foundation Course, Attitude, Ethics and Communication skills, Early Clinical Exposure and Community Health Visits. Integrated Teaching, Small Group Teaching and Assessments were viewed less positively (62.9%-75%) and Self-directed Learning received the lowest positive responses (57%-58%). For training as a doctor, the elements considered most valuable were Early Clinical Exposure (70.4%) and Community Health Visits (70.4%) while the least were Logbooks (35.5%) and Reflections (34.2%). Conclusions Students found Early Clinical Exposure and Community Health Visits the most valuable elements whereas Self-directed Learning, Logbooks and Reflections were rated as the least useful.
