Kathmandu Medical College (KMC) was established in 1997 with the goal of providing high-quality and accessible medical education and healthcare. It has over 10 faculty members in its Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, which sees over 75 patients daily and performs 95 surgeries per month. KMC emphasizes using modern teaching methods like problem-based learning and aims to continually improve its education and care. It faces challenges in enhancing practical training and developing new competency-based assessment models.
The undergraduate medical education program is designed with a goal to create an
“Indian Medical Graduate” (IMG) possessing requisite knowledge, skills, attitudes,
values and responsiveness, so that he or she may function appropriately and
effectively as a doctor of first contact of the community while being globally relevant.
AETCOM module is a manifestation of this realization that endeavors to strike a balance between the five identified roles of an ‘Indian Medical Graduate (IMG)’ viz; Clinician, Leader & Member of health care team, Communicator, Life- long learner and Professional; right from the 1st professional year of training.
The Philippine Board of Ophthalmology embarks on a difficult task of mandating teaching of ethics and professionalism for residency Training Programs in Ophthalmology in the country. This is the first lecture in that conference defining both ethics and medical professionalism.

Precepting is vital to promoting the competence, familiarity, confidence, and security of new nurses in a new environment. Historically, there have been few standardized or universally accepted guidelines for the curriculum that should be included in the preceptorship model.
We created this groundbreaking new course, The Preceptor Challenge, to provide the opportunity for practical application of theory-based precepting practice in a lifelike virtual hospital setting. The highly interactive course is available to nurses working in all patient care areas, and teaches how to apply best practices, and how to identify the rationale that makes these practices "best."

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

• KMC is continuously trying to develop itself into a centre
for excellence, setting new standards in medical
education and high quality medical care.
• First yr- Am I smart enough?
• 4th year-will I ever know enough?
7. What are learning styles?
• Learning styles are simply different
approaches or ways of learning
8. Visual Learners:
• These learners need to see the
teacher's body language and facial
expression to fully understand the
content of a lesson.
• They tend to prefer sitting at the
front of the classroom to avoid visual
obstructions (e.g. people's heads). learn through seeing...
• They may think in pictures and learn
best from visual displays including:
diagrams, illustrated text books,
overhead transparencies, videos,
flipcharts and hand-outs.
• During a lecture or classroom
discussion, visual learners often
prefer to take detailed notes to
absorb the information.
9. Auditory Learners
• They learn best through verbal
lectures, discussions, talking things
through and listening to what others
have to say.
• Auditory learners interpret the
underlying meanings of speech learn through listening
through listening to tone of voice,
pitch, speed and other nuances.
• Written information may have little
meaning until it is heard. These
learners often benefit from reading
text aloud and using a tape
recorder.
10. Tactile/Kinesthetic Learners:
• Tactile/Kinesthetic persons
learn best through a hands-
on approach, actively
exploring the physical world
around them.
learn through ,
moving, doing
and touching
• They may find it hard to sit
still for long periods and may
become distracted by their
need for activity and
exploration.
11. How we teach
• “The traditional way of teaching - to teach about the
diseases
• Try to use modern technologies
• “But what we’re recognizing in our education is that
we need to teach the students not about the
disease, but about how the patient presents with the
disease.
• For example, a patient who presents with shortness
of breath might have one of 100 different conditions,
so instead of trying to teach the student about a
hundred different conditions, we’re going to teach
them to start with the shortness of breath and get
down to one of the diagnoses.”
12. How we teach
• “Teachers aren’t needed as experts who
deliver information, because the
information is all around us,” says
Davidson.
• Instead, teachers are the people with
experience that students need to help them
interpret the information.
“That’s the paradigm shift.”
13. Challenges in medical education
• Firstly, practical training must be made more effective to
counter reduced working hours
• Research has shown that deliberate practice is a far better
method to acquire expertise than simple unstructured
practice.
• This involves supervision and detailed feedback, and
ample opportunity to improve performance gradually by
performing tasks repeatedly.
• The second challenge is to develop new methods of
assessment to reflect the focus on competencies (tasks
that a qualified medical professional should be able to
handle successfully).
14. Challenges in medical education
• Improving research standards in medical education is another
challenge, and high quality, relevant research requires more
interdisciplinary collaboration.
• The major challenge is overcoming negative attitudes to
assessment,.
• This will involve changing the culture of assessment into one
where assessment is informative, helps people to improve
their work, and where the goal is not to be better than the
others but to be better today than you were yesterday.
• Conclusion - a close collaboration between doctors and
educationalists is indispensable for good medical education
and development of better education,
15. Students dynamic
• Trying to please others
• Wanting to be clever
• Wanting to achieve as highly as others
• Trying to be perfectionist
• Envy and competitiveness
• Setting urself impossible targets
• Fearing disaster all the way
• Succeeding at the last moment (brilliantly)
16. Common challenges
• Leaving/adopting familiar things, people and
places
• Transition is associated with stress and
anxiety
• Challenge of new academic work
• Home sick?
• High initial expectation
• Work overload and low control over it
• Change in life style
17. Common challenges
• Cultural isolation
• Financial problems
• Setting down in a new peer group
• Feeling under pressure to do everything
right
• Transition to different level of studies
• Sustained pressure at every level
• Divergent tutor student expectation
• Making decision for future career
18. Tips to face challenges
• Talk to some one
• Others r also suffering
• Do extracurricular activities too
• Contact home and friends regularly
• Be realistic about what to expect from
student life and urself
• Balance between work and leisure
• Give urself time to adjust-u don’t have to
get everything right straight away
• Remember to get enough food and sleep
19. Tips to face challenges
• Use stress management techniques
• Good self care- diet, sleep, alcohol, caffiene,
nicotine
• Allow urself time out for releasing stress
• Good time management
• Review study skill
• Setting realistic goals and celebrate
achievement
• Create and use support network
20. “Medicine is not taught by a faculty but is
learned by one’s own efforts, and the
teaching is a question of stimulating
each student instead of spoon-feeding
him”
Willard Rappleye
