It further said that in the last few years, the method of teaching and learning has changed significantly with a larger participation of online methods and simulation-based training.

“There is a necessity to modify our current pattern of teaching, clinical training, and evaluation targeting long-term capacity building and develop a validated model for nationwide implementation,” the letter read.

The committee will submit its report to the dean for approval and implementation. The registrar has been asked to facilitate the committee by providing logistic support like booking the dean’s committee room for the meetings based on availability.
