“…Connecting the microscopes with LEDS will project the microscopic images in a much better way and a bigger picture of the tissue will imprint in the minds of the students 18 . The attitude can be made positive by makig efforts to make the subjects interesting Many quizzes based on microscopic images are available online which can creatsrtitical thinking among the students 19 . The importance of histology must be reinforced by the histology teachers throughout the initial years of medical curriculum and its importance should be stated in the college's curriculum at the beginning of the ses- sion.…”

Objective of Study: The objective of this study is to have an insight on student’s attitudes regarding histology’s clinical relevance in public and private sector medical college. Methodology: A cross sectional survey for attitude analysis towards histology’s clinical importance was carried out among 200 third year medical students from private and public sector medical college. Thurdstone and Chave attitude analysis questionnaire was employed to find the attitude score. Results: Students of both public and private sector medical college show scepticism towards the clinical importance of histology. There was no marked difference in the attitudes of students of public and private sector medical college. Most data remained on the borderline of the attitude scale employed. Conclusion: This study provided useful information for the teachers that students do not appreciate the clinical importance of histology much. Teachers need to devise strategies and to work on the students helping them comprehend the importance of histology.

“…However this has a drawback that students may face difficulty in understanding the concepts. Horizontal and vertical teaching is suggested as an alternative to tackle this reduced teaching duration (Bandyopadhyay, 2017;Samar, 2010). This may be due to higher difficulty level of the anatomy subject, as noted by Gole et al, 2015.…”

Introduction: Anatomy curriculum for undergraduate medical students in India is squeezed from one and half year to one year since 1998 as per Medical Council of India (MCI) regulation, 1997 leading to pressure of completing the vast syllabus in this time frame. Further MCI recommends student centered teaching in the form small group teaching, seminars, formative assessments etc. The present study was conducted to determine the students' perception about these changes. Method: A total of 360 students participated in the study during two academic years. Students' feedback was collected through pre-structured objective questionnaire at the end of each academic year and the responses were analyzed statistically. Result: About two-third (65%) students expressed that duration provided to study anatomy in the current curriculum is insufficient and should be increased to 10-12 months. Reasons cited were more time required for acclimatization, syllabus being rushed through, significant stress level and insufficient time for recreation. About 76.38% students suggested that number of teaching hours per day should be reduced to 5-6 hours from current 7 hours. Students gave less than 50% weightage to college coaching (87.77%), opted for small group teaching (79.44%) and preferred appropriate combination of teaching with chalkboard & power point presentation (55.83%). They favoured formative tests and revisions in learning anatomy than seminars. Conclusion: The present study provides useful insights of student's perception on current anatomy curriculum and teaching. Findings warrant confirmation by similar studies in different medical colleges. These data will enable betterment of curriculum during its revisions.

“…The introduction of multiple techniques of learning is necessary to create an easy learning among the students. Students feedback is a useful basis for modifying and improving medical education (Bandyopadhyay & Biswas, 2017). Therefore, in developing the teaching and assessment method it is necessary to get the feedback from students that will later be useful for the faculty to modify their teaching and assessment methods (S. Rafique & H. Rafique, 2013).…”
