Abstract:
Medical science is one of the sectors which has faced rapid advancement in the past few years. But sadly, medical schools are still following the traditional curriculum where a wide gap between the pre-clinical and clinical phases prevails. Early clinical exposure is known to act as a bridge to this gap. It contributes to the overall development of naive medical students enhancing their communication skills, clinical skills, teamwork, empathy development, and motivation towards selfdirected learning and hence making them more competent for clinical years. So, as it reinforces the conventional didactic teaching-learning method it becomes a much-needed part for the students in preclinical years.
