Abstract

• In the existing teaching model, first year undergraduate medical students generally take notes in the class room while Physiology is being taught, and thereafter study from their text books and notes. In this short communication, the authors provide a vision for the future that involves improving a first year student’s learning and educational equity inside a medical college with the help of strong and consistent collaboration between physiologists and physicians thus ensuring that students understand the concept of application of physiologic principles by providing a chance for practical exposure with relevance to clinical Physiology.
