Second Half
Observation of Basic Courses at College Level and Reporting
One of the assignments for completing the advance course is to observe a Basic Medical Education workshop and provide your critical inputs to improve the quality of that workshop. This observation is different from the task which is done by the designated MCI Observer and is primarily aimed at improving your training and facilitation skills. The purpose of this report is to improve your training and facilitation skills rather than on the administrative aspects of workshop organization.
You need to observe the basic workshop on all three days at one of the following places:
1. Any institution if any MCI approved workshop is being conducted during next 6 months or after the 2nd contact session but before one year of the enrollment in advance course.
2. A nearby MCI Regional Center (RC). Please contact the convener of the RC as soon as possible to find out about the possible dates. The conveners have already been informed about this activity. (Please note that basic courses at NCs are not included for this activity)
You will need to submit a signed and stamped certificate in the given format as a token of you having observed the said workshop from the MCI observer if you use option 1 and the respective convener if you use options 2 or 3. The report and the certificate have to be submitted to the Convener of the NC where you are enrolled for the advance course.
Please do not disseminate the report or discuss it with the local organizers/RC/NC. Please DONOT post in any thread or in any group. This has to be sent CONFIDENTIALLY in a mail ID designated for the purpose only.
In case more than one teacher from your college is enrolled for the advance course, observing the same workshop is allowed but each participant should write a separate report. Similar reports are likely to be rejected at the sole discretion of the convener of the NC.
You will need to make your own arrangements for travel and stay. You may approach your parent college for assistance.
