Internship
Confused Doctor :-
It was Myocardial Infarction. Everyone around me was acting
very fast to save patients life. But I was totally in confusion. I
started feeling the same pain and anxiety of the patient in front
of me.
Seniors started shouting at me. That made me more
embarrassing. My eyes welled up with tears
Then I started thinking
Whatever I learnt . I was not able to apply it
Whether that was my fault?
Or
My teachers fault?
No . Not at all.
Then what was the reason for my failure in practical aspects?
We got education in Silos model:-
Model of Compartmentalized education
Things were not taught to us as whole disease
The concepts though taught were fragmented
e.g. Myocardial Infarction
1) Anatomy :- Origin, course, branches of coronary arteries
Anatomical basis of Ischemic heart disease
2) Physiology:- The functional anatomy of heart including chambers, sounds and pacemaker
tissue and conducting system. Introduction to ECG:- Normal and abnormal
patterns
3) Biochemistry:- Biochemical tests done in MI
4) Pathology :- Pathogenesis of MI
5) Pharmacology :- Classification ,Mechanism of action, PK/PD, doses and side effects of drugs
used in MI
6) PSM :- Modifiable and non modifiable risk factors of MI
5) Internal Medicine:- Pathogenesis, causes, differential diagnosis, investigations and treatment.
How we can overcome this situation?
What are the advantages of Integrating?
1) Can avoid redundancy
2) Promote contextual learning
3) Promote meaningful and relevant learning
4) Student will be able to correlate between basic and clinical
science
5) Things learned are better retained
6) It promotes faculty communication
How integration can be done?
Try to cover the whole organ system(CVS/RS/Endocrine/CNS),or
a particular disease (Anemia, Myocardial infarction ) within
certain time period.
This can be done by
1) Aligning the topics(Subjects of same phase)
2) Integrating them (Subjects of different phase)
3) Link the concepts in alignment and integration by using linker
1) Alignment of the organ systems/topics as much possible –
(Temporal coordination)
• It means that as much as possible organ systems/ topics in
different subjects in the same phase that have similar
threads will be grouped together in the timetable
• Used for the majority of the curriculum (80% )allowing
similar systems or topics in different subjects to be learnt
separately but during the same time frame.
• This is the principal method to be followed while creating
the phase-wise timetable.
How alignment can done?
1)We can align organ systems
2) We can align Topics
3) We can align both
Examples of Alignment :
1) Organ system:- Cardiovascular system in anatomy, physiology and
biochemistry can be scheduled simultaneously in the timetable (Organ
system based Time table for CVS)
2) Topics:-
Aligned timetable using Topics (Myocardial Infarction)
3) Organ systems plus topics
Aligned timetable using organ system(CVS) and topic(MI)
2) Integrate the topics to the limited extent. :-
Topics in different subjects in the same phase or different
phases that have similar threads will be grouped together in the
timetable
Concepts in a topic / organ system that are similar,
overlapping or redundant are merged into a single teaching
session in which subject based demarcations are removed
Directions of integration:
A) Horizontal : Two or more disciplines of any phase of MBBS
curriculum (preclinical, para-clinical or clinical)
• The purpose of horizontal integration (within a phase) is to
remove redundancy and provide interconnectedness
B) Vertical : Two or more disciplines of two or more phases of
MBBS curriculum.
The purpose of vertical integration
• In the earlier phases: It used is to emphasize on the applied
aspect of the basic science
• In the later phases: It is to used to give more information
clinically oriented concepts
The progression of integration
How integration takes place?
The 11 steps on the integration ladder described by
Professor Ronald M Harden
Professor Ronald M Harden, Centre for Medical
Education Dundee university ,UK
Methods of integration suggested
MCI for new curriculum
Liver function in physiology
and bilirubin metabolism in
biochemistry can be planned
jointly in one single session
Mainly used for
Horizontal Integration
Used for vertical
integration
Most of the part of Subjects are taught
by using methods like temporal
coordination (Covering large part of the
syllabus)
In the same time frame you add a
session which brings together concepts
common to each of the subjects
Mainly used for
vertical integration
The teacher identifies concepts and skills from other
subjects and incorporate them while teaching his own
subject
How exactly should we integrate? What are the steps involved?
Step 1: Identify a list of topics or organ systems that will be
accommodated in the timetable as aligned and integrated topics
(AITo).
E.g.:-
Topics :- Anemia, Diabetes, Thyroid Diseases,
Nutrition, Febrile Illness , Tuberculosis, Malaria, Diarrhea
Ischemic Heart Disease ,Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, Jaundice
Organ system :- Cardiovascular System, Gastro-intestinal system,
Endocrine system
Here we are taking example of Meningitis
In which subjects Meningitis can be taught?
Pathology(Phase 2)
Microbiology (Phase 2)
Internal Medicine(Phase 3)
Step 2:
• Use the subject-wise competency document book developed
by the MCI for noting down required competencies in each
subject to teach that particular topic
• Transfer the competences into a template
• Arrange these competencies according to phase and subject
Step 3: For each competency, derive learning objectives.
Subject Pathology Microbiology Internal
Medicine
Competencies 2 1 3
Objectives 5 3 7
Step 3:
Derive learning sessions to teach these objective
a.Put together a bunch of objectives that can be accomplished in the
allotted time and require a similar method of instruction and create a
learning session
b.While creating a learning session Review the objectives /
competencies in each phase for particular topic so that Redundancy
can be reduced
C. Put together a bunch of learning sessions for alignment and
integration that covers a particular objectives from different subjects
Subject Pathology Microbiology Internal Medicine
Competencies 2 1 3
Objectives 5 3 7

Step 4: Create a adding a linker to each AITo so that we can
introduce it into time table
A linker is a session that will be helpful in connecting the
concepts(helps the student to Correlate) in different subjects
while learning about a particular topic or organ system
The linker is most commonly a case.
Linker can be creatively written and used in each phase (often
the same case) to allow students to correlate what they have
learnt and apply into understanding disease process, diagnosis
and care.
When you use the case discussion at different time points in
integration students will be able to link concepts appropriately
In addition, encourage the student to go for collaborative and
self-directed learning
Step 5: Ensure that while making table adequate time should be
given to AITos (Aligned and Integrated topics) ,Non aligned
topics and assessment methods
Which things we must take into consideration according to
GMR 2019 while doing integration:-
• Integration should not to exceed 20% of the total curriculum
• The integration session most preferred will be a case based
discussion so that student will learn concepts as well as their
connection with other subjects
• Prime importance should be given to achieve phase - based
objectives
• The integrative elements from lower phases are used only
to provide adequate recall of applied concepts and
understand their clinical application in higher phases
• Objective writing and session planning must be done with
teachers of all subjects involved in the aligned and
integrated topic (AITo) and their inputs taken for the
integrated session
• It must be emphasized that integration does not necessarily
require multiple teachers(the concepts should be integrated. It
is not necessary to integrate teachers) in each class. Experts
from each phase and subject may be involved in the lesson
planning but not it in its delivery unless necessary
• Topics that cannot be aligned and integrated(Non- aligned
topics) must be provided adequate time in the curriculum
throughout the year
• Assessment will continue to be subject based. However,
efforts must be made to ensure that phase appropriate
correlates are tested to determine if the learner has
internalized and integrated the concept and its application
(This is nothing but integrated assessment)

P
When ever we complete a topic or session we can assess the student by
giving them formative assessment.
What is the purpose of formative assessment?
To help the student as well as teacher to know how the student is
progressing and what remedial actions can be taken
When the formative assessments are conducted?
Through out the academic year
Summative assessments :-
They are conducted at the end of academic year
What is the purpose :-
• In traditional assessment system we were not integrating
assessments .
• But now MCI tells us to use integration in assessments also .
• It tells us that more integration should be there in formative
assessment
• Advantage of Integrated assessment: It provide an
creative learning platform to the students so that whatever
he learns can be linked to real life i.e., what will he/she
experience in their practice.

Final integration and alignment

  • 1. Alignment and Integration Dr. Prabhakar Patil Professor Department of Pharmacology Dr. Prasanna.N Assistant Professor Department of Pathology
  • 2.
  • 3. Traditional curriculum in MBBS:- 1st Phase:- Anatomy , Physiology , Biochemistry 2nd Phase : Pathology , Pharmacology , Microbiology, Forensic Medicine 3 rd Phase Medicine, Surgery & Orthopedics , Gynecology and obstetrics, Pediatrics, Community Medicine, ENT, Ophthalmology Internship
  • 4. Confused Doctor :- It was Myocardial Infarction. Everyone around me was acting very fast to save patients life. But I was totally in confusion. I started feeling the same pain and anxiety of the patient in front of me. Seniors started shouting at me. That made me more embarrassing. My eyes welled up with tears Then I started thinking Whatever I learnt . I was not able to apply it
  • 5. Whether that was my fault? Or My teachers fault? No . Not at all. Then what was the reason for my failure in practical aspects? We got education in Silos model:- Model of Compartmentalized education
  • 6. Things were not taught to us as whole disease The concepts though taught were fragmented
  • 7. e.g. Myocardial Infarction 1) Anatomy :- Origin, course, branches of coronary arteries Anatomical basis of Ischemic heart disease 2) Physiology:- The functional anatomy of heart including chambers, sounds and pacemaker tissue and conducting system. Introduction to ECG:- Normal and abnormal patterns 3) Biochemistry:- Biochemical tests done in MI 4) Pathology :- Pathogenesis of MI 5) Pharmacology :- Classification ,Mechanism of action, PK/PD, doses and side effects of drugs used in MI 6) PSM :- Modifiable and non modifiable risk factors of MI 5) Internal Medicine:- Pathogenesis, causes, differential diagnosis, investigations and treatment.
  • 8. How we can overcome this situation?
  • 9.
  • 10. What are the advantages of Integrating? 1) Can avoid redundancy 2) Promote contextual learning 3) Promote meaningful and relevant learning 4) Student will be able to correlate between basic and clinical science 5) Things learned are better retained 6) It promotes faculty communication
  • 11. How integration can be done? Try to cover the whole organ system(CVS/RS/Endocrine/CNS),or a particular disease (Anemia, Myocardial infarction ) within certain time period. This can be done by 1) Aligning the topics(Subjects of same phase) 2) Integrating them (Subjects of different phase) 3) Link the concepts in alignment and integration by using linker
  • 12. 1) Alignment of the organ systems/topics as much possible – (Temporal coordination) • It means that as much as possible organ systems/ topics in different subjects in the same phase that have similar threads will be grouped together in the timetable • Used for the majority of the curriculum (80% )allowing similar systems or topics in different subjects to be learnt separately but during the same time frame. • This is the principal method to be followed while creating the phase-wise timetable.
  • 13.
  • 14. How alignment can done? 1)We can align organ systems 2) We can align Topics 3) We can align both
  • 15. Examples of Alignment : 1) Organ system:- Cardiovascular system in anatomy, physiology and biochemistry can be scheduled simultaneously in the timetable (Organ system based Time table for CVS)
  • 16. 2) Topics:- Aligned timetable using Topics (Myocardial Infarction)
  • 17. 3) Organ systems plus topics Aligned timetable using organ system(CVS) and topic(MI)
  • 18. 2) Integrate the topics to the limited extent. :- Topics in different subjects in the same phase or different phases that have similar threads will be grouped together in the timetable Concepts in a topic / organ system that are similar, overlapping or redundant are merged into a single teaching session in which subject based demarcations are removed
  • 19. Directions of integration: A) Horizontal : Two or more disciplines of any phase of MBBS curriculum (preclinical, para-clinical or clinical) • The purpose of horizontal integration (within a phase) is to remove redundancy and provide interconnectedness
  • 20. B) Vertical : Two or more disciplines of two or more phases of MBBS curriculum. The purpose of vertical integration • In the earlier phases: It used is to emphasize on the applied aspect of the basic science • In the later phases: It is to used to give more information clinically oriented concepts
  • 21. The progression of integration How integration takes place?
  • 22. The 11 steps on the integration ladder described by Professor Ronald M Harden Professor Ronald M Harden, Centre for Medical Education Dundee university ,UK
  • 23. Methods of integration suggested MCI for new curriculum
  • 24. Liver function in physiology and bilirubin metabolism in biochemistry can be planned jointly in one single session Mainly used for Horizontal Integration
  • 25. Used for vertical integration Most of the part of Subjects are taught by using methods like temporal coordination (Covering large part of the syllabus) In the same time frame you add a session which brings together concepts common to each of the subjects
  • 26. Mainly used for vertical integration The teacher identifies concepts and skills from other subjects and incorporate them while teaching his own subject
  • 27. How exactly should we integrate? What are the steps involved? Step 1: Identify a list of topics or organ systems that will be accommodated in the timetable as aligned and integrated topics (AITo). E.g.:- Topics :- Anemia, Diabetes, Thyroid Diseases, Nutrition, Febrile Illness , Tuberculosis, Malaria, Diarrhea Ischemic Heart Disease ,Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, Jaundice Organ system :- Cardiovascular System, Gastro-intestinal system, Endocrine system
  • 28. Here we are taking example of Meningitis In which subjects Meningitis can be taught? Pathology(Phase 2) Microbiology (Phase 2) Internal Medicine(Phase 3)
  • 29. Step 2: • Use the subject-wise competency document book developed by the MCI for noting down required competencies in each subject to teach that particular topic • Transfer the competences into a template • Arrange these competencies according to phase and subject
  • 30. Step 3: For each competency, derive learning objectives. Subject Pathology Microbiology Internal Medicine Competencies 2 1 3 Objectives 5 3 7
  • 31.
  • 32. Step 3: Derive learning sessions to teach these objective a.Put together a bunch of objectives that can be accomplished in the allotted time and require a similar method of instruction and create a learning session b.While creating a learning session Review the objectives / competencies in each phase for particular topic so that Redundancy can be reduced C. Put together a bunch of learning sessions for alignment and integration that covers a particular objectives from different subjects Subject Pathology Microbiology Internal Medicine Competencies 2 1 3 Objectives 5 3 7 Objectives those can aligned and integrated 3(2) 2(1) (2) Learning methods(Instruction ) Lecture ,Practical Small group discussion Case study
  • 33.
  • 34. Objectives which can be aligned and integrated 3(2) 2(1) 5(2) Derive assessment methods for each objective.

  • 35.
  • 36. Step 4: Create a adding a linker to each AITo so that we can introduce it into time table A linker is a session that will be helpful in connecting the concepts(helps the student to Correlate) in different subjects while learning about a particular topic or organ system The linker is most commonly a case. Linker can be creatively written and used in each phase (often the same case) to allow students to correlate what they have learnt and apply into understanding disease process, diagnosis and care.
  • 37. When you use the case discussion at different time points in integration students will be able to link concepts appropriately In addition, encourage the student to go for collaborative and self-directed learning
  • 38. Step 5: Ensure that while making table adequate time should be given to AITos (Aligned and Integrated topics) ,Non aligned topics and assessment methods
  • 39. Which things we must take into consideration according to GMR 2019 while doing integration:- • Integration should not to exceed 20% of the total curriculum • The integration session most preferred will be a case based discussion so that student will learn concepts as well as their connection with other subjects
  • 40. • Prime importance should be given to achieve phase - based objectives • The integrative elements from lower phases are used only to provide adequate recall of applied concepts and understand their clinical application in higher phases • Objective writing and session planning must be done with teachers of all subjects involved in the aligned and integrated topic (AITo) and their inputs taken for the integrated session
  • 41. • It must be emphasized that integration does not necessarily require multiple teachers(the concepts should be integrated. It is not necessary to integrate teachers) in each class. Experts from each phase and subject may be involved in the lesson planning but not it in its delivery unless necessary • Topics that cannot be aligned and integrated(Non- aligned topics) must be provided adequate time in the curriculum throughout the year
  • 42. • Assessment will continue to be subject based. However, efforts must be made to ensure that phase appropriate correlates are tested to determine if the learner has internalized and integrated the concept and its application (This is nothing but integrated assessment)

  • 68. When ever we complete a topic or session we can assess the student by giving them formative assessment. What is the purpose of formative assessment? To help the student as well as teacher to know how the student is progressing and what remedial actions can be taken When the formative assessments are conducted? Through out the academic year Summative assessments :- They are conducted at the end of academic year What is the purpose :-
  • 69. • In traditional assessment system we were not integrating assessments . • But now MCI tells us to use integration in assessments also . • It tells us that more integration should be there in formative assessment • Advantage of Integrated assessment: It provide an creative learning platform to the students so that whatever he learns can be linked to real life i.e., what will he/she experience in their practice.

Editor's Notes

  1. We all products of traditional teaching. In traditional curriculum we came across all these subjects in different phases. Followed by this there was compulsory internship. I also went through this process and joined as medical officer in a hospital. I was very happy that I became a doctor. I started working with great enthusiasm.
  2. The first case came was myocardial infarction. Everyone around me was acting very fast to save patients life. But I was totally in confusion. . I started feeling the same pain and anxiety of the patient in front of me. Seniors started shouting at me. That made me more embarrassing. My eyes welled up with tears Here what was expected from me as a doctor. I should be able to handle most of the things independently. Then I started thinking (what wrong has happened to me?) and the answer to this was whatever I learnt for last five and half years. I was not able to apply it in practical situations.
  3. I learnt each subject as a compartment which is not connected with the other compartment(Other subject) regarding therotical and practical aspects. In the United States of America, silos in education was used. In this one teacher per room, every subject its own class or time frame, and every child his or her own desk! Compartmentalized, organized, safe. Students attend a lecture on anatomy on CVS, and then move on to a lecture in physiology where they will attend lecture on Endocrinology and in biochemistry carbohydrate metabolism.
  4. Things were not taught to us as whole disease.Every teacher taught me myocardial infarction in his compartment compartments. Similar concepts were taught but in different time frames. So it was not possible to internalize a particular topic as whole.
  5. Whether my teacher taught me MI.Yes definitely . They all were great teachers They taught MI in bits and pieces. Every teacher was the expert in his subject. He used to deliver loads of knowledge to me. One more problem we faced teacher were trying to make us experts in their subjects delivering unnecessary loads of knowledge to us(We can call it as redundant. Which means exceeding whatever is necessary). There was lot of repetition which made learning boring.
  6. The new curriculum proposed by MCI
  7. Teach the concept as whole in integrated manner by breaking the barriers between to subjects.
  8. Redundancy:- Which means exceeding whatever is necessary Contextual learning:- is a method of instruction that enables students to apply their knowledge and skills to real-life situations
  9. These are some ways by which we can arrange our syllabus so that student will be able to learn and able to implement his knowledge and skill in his day to day practice.
  10. Teaching related systems or topics from different subjects in the same phase
  11. This temporal coordination is called as alignment in the guidelines given by MCI for new curriculum. Here you can see example of temporal coordination between all subjects of phase 2.
  12. So this is the time table of one week having six hours per day teaching Example given is CVS shown in green colour. If you take example of Monday All three subjects of first year can go for aligned teaching related to some part of CVS(Here you can see first four classes). But last two classes are Non aligned topics (Topics other than CVS )they are from physiology and community medicine. That means we have to give some time to non aligned topics in the time table. Examples of Non aligned topics:-Anatomy :- Upper limb, lower limb , Physiology:- Exercise physiology, Aviation physiology, Biochemistry:- Chemistry of Carbohydrates and lipids Pharmacology:- Adverse drug reactions, Drug development. Same thing can be followed for whole week Similarly while teaching infectious disease you can align Pathology, Microbiology and Pharmacology. In this time table you can see rectangles with blue and red outline. These are examples of integrated session.I will discuss this later.
  13. Similarly you align a particular topic. Here the example is of Myocardial infarction.
  14. Similarly you can also align a topic while teaching organ system. Here example is Myocardial infarction and Cardiovascular system.
  15. After alignment second method is integration. It is done in limited extent.Topics in different subjects in the same phase or different phases that have similar threads will be grouped together in the timetable Concepts in a topic / organ system that are similar, overlapping or redundant are merged into a single teaching session in which subject based demarcations are removed . In this method we break the barriers between subjects.
  16. To answer this question Professor Ronald M Harden proposed 11 step integration ladder. In this ladder the teaching starts as isolated teaching (Silos teaching/ Compartmentalized teaching) by each subject. But the further steps of ladder leads to integration. The success of integration depends on communication and joint planning between teachers from different subjects
  17. From these 11 steps MCI has suggested only three steps to be used in teaching.
  18. So let us see these methods in details.
  19. Similarly Case of Myocardial Infarction can be used to recap the concepts in subjects like Biochemistry and Pathology while teaching Internal Medicine.
  20. Now I want the participants to tell which subjects can be aligned or integrated to teach one of the topic.
  21. Again the question to you is which subjects can be aligned or integrated while teaching meningitis. Here as I am going to tell you example of creating time table of II phase I will try to include subjects from 2nd year. Then align them according to need. Then I will think which subjects can be integrated to these subjects within phase and outside the phase.
  22. As we are making timetable of Phase II, in this table you can see digits shown in red colour tells us About objectives that can be aligned. The digits shown in bracket tells us about the objectives that can be integrated.
  23. e.g. In this example we can see a case which create a link between concepts of pathology, microbiology and internal medicine
  24. So we will see some examples integrated assessment after dr prassana will give you example of making time table for particular topic in detail.
  25. There are two types of assessments :- Formative and summative.
  26. In traditional assessment system we were not integrating assessments .But now MCI tells us to use integrated assessments. It tells us that more integration should be there in formative assessment.
  27. this is the example of case resolution which can be used to assess objectives in physiology and pathology related to topic anemia. It can be conducted as small group discussion in practical sessions.
  28. This is the example of reflective writing which can be used to assess objectives in physiology and pathology related to anemia . Here student is expected to reflect on experience taken in a particular situation (Experience is Visit to blood bank). This assessment can be conducted as reflective writing as a question in theory.
  29. In this example of integrated assignment for iron deficiency anemia which can be used to assess objectives from Pathology, Pharmacology and Internal medicine. This can be conducted during lecture or practical session.
  30. Similarly integrated MCQs can be conducted during lectures or practicals
  31. Here is the example of integrated structured essay which can be used to assess objectives in physiology and pathology related to anemia. Here structured assays can be given during lectures or practical sessions
  32. Here the example of integrated short answer on lab diagnosis of enteric fever which can be used to assess objectives from microbiology and Internal medicine. This can be conducted in lecture or practical session.
  33. Here it is example of Peripheral smear of iron deficiency anemia. Which can be used as integrated OSPE (Objective Structured Practical Examination)in practical session.
  34. Here the example of case of iron deficiency anemia. It can be used to asses objectives from pathology and Internal medicine can be assessed as integrated OSCE(Objective structured clinical examination) . This can be conducted in practical session.
