The National Medical Commission (NMC) has issued a circular on the implementation of a new competency-based medical education course curriculum in the undergraduate programme.
The new set of guidelines will apply to MBBS students in the UG CGME 2021-2022 batch (admitted in 2022). All medical colleges in states and UTs have been directed to implement the new course.
The NMC curriculum circular mainly lists the guidelines that need to be followed due to the time redistribution for the course in the professional year of 2021-22 owing to the Covid-19 pandemic. The duration of the first professional course has been reduced from 14 months to 12 months. The circular lists how to manage the new timeline, along with other changes to ensure competency-based medical education. Other changes include- Early clinical exposure and integration, Self Directed Learning (SDL), Introduction of electives, etc.
