Curriculum Development

Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to understand that any residency training program for medical professionals needs to take into account their role as both service providers as well as students. As service providers, particular attention must be paid towards their interaction with health consumers. The tenets of the doctor- patient relationship must be practiced all the time. Also, as they are students, the various modalities by which their learning could be enhanced must be implemented and monitored by the teaching and supervising faculty at each and every stage.
