The CHAD program in CMC Vellore provides

Medical Education, and using block posting. A
regional training center. COME covers 12% of
curriculum.
Myanmar
Introduced COME 15 years back, and PBL into an
established curriculum in premedical course (1st

Foreign Consultants developed curriculum. COME
and PBL introduced; COME is effective, but PBL is
on the verge of failure. COME covers 23% of
curriculum.
Indonesia
COME is practiced. Little PBL has been
introduced, little chance of success

Srilanka
The whole island is well covered, down to the
grass root level, by health services.
Developed a system of post-graduate medical
education -PGIM began to function properly since
1980. It provides degrees and training on
different specialities including Medical Education
and Community Medicine since 1993.

Bangladesh
1988 undergraduate medical curriculum was
made community oriented by incorporating
Community Medicine from 1st year to the 5th
year MBBS course. Topic specific integrated
teaching had also been recommended. The newer
curriculum developed under the auspices of FIMC
has been made more community and problem
oriented.
WHO recently has selected Mymensingh Medical
College, for the first time in Bangladesh, to pilot
PBL.

Health problem
• A health problem is a situation about which the
learner knows some information, and by seeking in
some prescribed way, can find more.
• Health problems should satisfy Some or all of
the following Criteria
1. Prevalence
2. Life threatening
3. Prototypically
4. Professional skills
5. Interdisciplinary nature
6. usefulness of illustrating basic mechanism
12
Patterns of health problems
Stage 1: Introductory problems with
emphasis on basic concepts
for example : injury response, Immunization,
electrolyte regulation.
Stage 2: Problem desgined around organ /
systems for example : Congestive Heart failure,
Hypertension (CVS), Hematuria, Acute renal
failure (Renal system).
Stage 3: Multi-system Problems
for example : Convulsion, Anasarca, Dyspnoea,
Abdominal pain.

Health problems...
• Health problems may be presented as
– Scenario ( paper problems),
– real patient,
– video recordings of
• a real patient
• or simulated by an actor
• Health problems are usually presented to a
student with a learning guide; tutor guide

Outline of the clinical reasoning process
Identify problems
General Hypothesis of causes (D/D)
Rank hypothesis
Test hypotheses
a. Current data and knowledge
b New Data and knowledge
Re-rank hypothesis
(most likely hypothesis is the provisional diagnosis)
Make hypothesis of mechanism - how problems occur
Treat
(to manage problems
18
Role of a tutor
1. Follow problem based learning concept (using tutor
guide)
2. Identify resources
3. Stimulate thinking
4. Keep discussion on track, facilitate discussion
5. Assist student to achieve objectives
6. Give information (if necessary by non-directed
answers, can contribute)
7. Feedback and evaluation
