(Dr Sudhir Gupta, Additional Prof,
Forensic Medicine & Toxicology, AIIMS)
The clinical component of medical
education must be centered on the supervised study of patients and must involve
direct experiences in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. The clinical
component should include personal diagnostic and therapeutic experience with
gradual access to responsibilities. An adequate relation of the numbers of
students admitted for training and teaching at the bedside of the individual
patient must be observed.
- Before
beginning independent practice, every physician should complete a formal
program of clinical education. This program, usually of at least one
year’s duration, should be characterized by a supervised increase of
responsibility for the management of clinical problems.
- The
faculty is responsible for determining that students who receive the first
professional degree, have acquired a basic understanding of clinical
medicine, the basic skills needed to evaluate clinical problems and to
take appropriate action independently, and have the attitude and character
to be an ethical physician.
