- Domain/level-Core (DLC):
  1. Domain (Identifies the domain): K- Knowledge, S – Skill, A – Attitude/professionalism, C- Communication.
  2. Level (Identifies the level of competency): K – Knows, KH – Knows How, SH – Shows how, P- performs independently.
  3. Core: Y – must achieve/compulsory, N – non-core/desirable/optional
- Skills required to certify: P – many procedures must be done independently for certification/ graduation.
- Integration: V – Vertical Integration, H – horizontal integration.

Details of the competencies, lectures, practicals & skills to be acquired are mentioned in the table given above.
Teaching Learning Method:
1. Learner centric didactic lectures with Vertical/horizontal integrations (CBME).
2. Tutorial & Seminars
3. Problem-based Learning (PBL) & Small group discussions (especially focus on practical & clinical implications of the knowledge through cases)
4. Conventional Practical classes & DOAP session (Demonstrate, Observe, Assess, Perform),
5. Self-directed learning +/- multimedia aids (Audiovisual presentations).
6. Seminars, symposia & quizzes.

NBE provided the particulars of competencies, teaching methodology, Vertica/.horizontal integrations, AETCOM & Exam methodology however the distribution of hours per class/tutorial & practicals are left for the individual universities to be handled therefore subjected to inter-university variability.

Total number of teaching hours: approximately 150 hrs (teaching hours & distribution might differ slightly per university).

Practicals:

Exam pattern:

The formative or internal assessment will not be added to the university examination marks.
- Should score 50 % & in theory and practical combined to be eligible to sit for university exams.
University exam: Each subject will have two papers.
- 200 marks will be reserved for the theory of two papers.
- Another 100 will be reserved for either practical, oral, or clinical exam.
- Should secure 50 % in theory and practical to pass in university examinations

Formative Assessment:

Theoretical assessment: clickers, one-minute papers, and muddiest point
Practical/clinical assessment: one-minute preceptor (OMP) and/or viva voce.
Scheduling: during teaching-learning activities & planned by the teachers on a day to day basis and modified depending on the tasks at hand.

Internal assessment

Theory: Written tests, should have essay questions, short notes, and creative writing.
Practical / Clinical: practical/clinical tests, Objective Structured Clinica/Objective Structured Practical Examination (OSPE) and/or viva voce.
Scheduling:
- Minimum Number of tests during the year: 2
- Clinical subjects should also be tested at end of each posting (EOP)-Theory and Practical
- There should be at least one short question from AETCOM in each subject

Summative assessment (For Universities)

Theory Papers: 2 papers for 200 marks
1. Suggested combination of various types of question:
  1. Structured essays (Long Answer Questions – LAQ)
  2. Short Answers Questions (SAQ)
  3. Objective type questions (Various type of MCQs: < 20% weightage)
2. Distribution of the competencies: The examiner must sample the contents appropriately from competencies.
Practicals for 100 marks:
1. Application-oriented exercises (Should not be simple tests of knowledge).
2. Objective Structured Practical Examination (OSPE), One- Minute Preceptor (OMP), Directly Observed Procedural Skills (DOPS) etc. can be suitably modified for this purpose and/or viva voce.
