Introduction: Medical Education is witnessing a significant transition and global shift towards competency based medical education (CBME) which includes early clinical exposure (ECE) program to help students apply and correlate principles of preclinical subjects with clinical scenarios, in various forms and in a variety of settings. One of the easy and feasible methods of ECE being Case Based Learning (CBL), our study aimed to design a case scenario and to evaluate impact of case base learning as a part of ECE module in first year undergraduate medical teaching program in nerve muscle physiology. Methods: The present study was conducted in 96 students at Ashwini Rural Medical College Hospital and Research Centre, Solapur after obtaining institutional ethics committee approval. 3 hrs session of CBL was conducted for a case scenario on myasthenia gravis in the nerve muscle physiology module. The students’ responses on pre-test, post-test and their insights regarding the CBL were taken through a pre validated questionnaire using 5-point Likert scale. Results: High impact of CBL was seen as significant improvement in student’s performance. Maximum students felt CBL to be easy method of learning and was highly appreciated through their feedback. Conclusion: CBL was found to have positive impact on understanding and perception of topic. CBL helped students to understand, evaluate, analyze, diagnose and interpret the case, paving them towards newer approach of self-directed and vertical integrated learning. CBL is easier, feasible an effective method among other early clinical exposure methods as it involves students in deeper and self-directed active learning, encouraging and promoting them to reach higher levels of cognitive domain of Bloom’s taxonomy. This method will be very useful in its practical implementation during online classes for ECE module in the threat of COVID 19 situation as well.

Background: Swiftness of ball games is one of the biggest reasons for its popularity. All ball games are very versatile and are played very recently in India. Thus, current study is undertaken to identify lacunae in technical skills of Indian Players and compare the skill related fitness. Materials and Methods: The study was carried out in ninety Male Indian players. Basketball players (n=30), volleyball players (n=30) and handball players (n=30) aged between 16 to 25yrs after obtaining institutional ethics committee clearance. Flexibility was assessed using Modified Sit and Reach test and Goniometry. Agility was assessed using burpee's squat test, shuttle run and quadrant Jump test using standardized procedure recommended by established literature. Data was analyzed using SPSS v20.0. Result: Our study revealed that, there is a statistically significant difference of mean values among all parameters (p<0.0001) except modified sit and reach test (p=0.06). Further analysis revealed that all groups shows statistically significant difference (p<0.05) except between HBP and BBP (p>0.05) for shoulder flexion, shoulder extension, knee flexion, knee extension and quadrant jump, between HBP and VBP for burpee's squat test, shuttle run and quadrant jump (p>0.05). Conclusion:Our also revealed that shoulder flexibility was significantly more in Volleyball players while knee flexibility was significantly higher in Basketball players. Handball players had intermediate values of flexibility. Agility was significant higher in Basketball players, intermediate Handball player while least in Volleyball players. However, these players lag far behind when compared with international players and standards.
