PR E FAC E
The MBBS curriculum is designed to prepare the medical student to assume the role of the principal
carer for patients. The majority of instruction in the various basic and clinical science disciplines is
focused on attaining this objective. The amount of material and specificity that the student must
acquire in order to complete the MBBS programme as a whole is substantial. Subject-based
instruction affords students the chance to develop comprehensive and profound understanding of
each respective subject. However, this instructional framework might result in the student failing to
recognize the interconnectedness of knowledge across different disciplines, their interrelation, and
most significantly, their significance in the context of patient care.
Over the years, numerous inventive approaches have been devised to tackle these obstacles. One
such approach is the integration of instruction at multiple levels, which eliminates and reduces
boundaries within subjects, both vertically and horizontally, across phases. LUMHS, while
acknowledging the merits of these methodologies, has endeavoured to seize the opportunity to
comprehend the interdependencies and minimise duplication in the subjects being instructed
through the implementation of an integrated modular approach.
The cardiovascular system, musculoskeletal system, and respiratory system are few examples of
system-based modules in an integrated modular curriculum that connects basic scientific knowledge
to clinical problems. By means of integrated instruction, subjects are presented as a unified whole.
Students can enhance their comprehension of basic scientific principles through consistent
application of clinical examples in their learning. A skills lab provides early exposure to the
acquisition of skills, case-based discussions, and self-directed learning are all elements of an
integrated teaching programme.

LEARNING STRATEGIES
The following instructional and learning strategies are implemented to foster greater comprehension:

 Interactive Lectures
 Small group sessions
 Case-Based Learning (CBL),
 Self-Study,
 Practical,
 Skills lab sessions,
 Demonstrations
 Field visits

INTERACTIVE LECTURES
In large group, the lecturer actively involves the students by introducing the topic or common clinical
conditions and explains the underlying phenomena by questions, pictures, videos of patients’
interviews, exercises, etc. in order to enhance their learning process.

SMALL GROUP TEACHING (SGT):


This strategy is helpful for the students to make their concepts clear, and s acquiring skills or attitudes.
These sessions are organized with the help of specific tasks such as patient case, interviews or
discussion topics. Students are than encouraged to exchange their ideas and apply knowledge
gained from lectures, tutorials and self-study. The facilitator employs probing questioning,
summarization, or rephrasing techniques to enhance the understanding of concepts.

CASE- BASED LEARNING:


A format of small group discussion that centres on a sequence of questions derived from a clinical
scenario, with the aim of facilitating learning. Students engage in discussions and provide answers
by applying pertinent knowledge acquired in clinical and basic health sciences throughout the
curriculum.

4
PRACTICAL:
Basic science practical related to anatomy, biochemistry, pathology, pharmacology and physiology
are scheduled to promote student learning by application.

SKILLS LAB SESSION:


Skills relevant to respective module are observed and practiced where applicable in skills laboratory.

SELF DIRECTED LEARNING:


Students take on the responsibility of their own learning by engaging in independent study,
collaborating and talking with classmates, accessing knowledge from the Learning Resources
available, teachers, and other experts. Students can make use of the designated self-study hours
provided by the college.

DEMONSTRATIONS:
During Anatomy teaching hour students in small groups are encouraged to utilize their knowledge in
demonstrating different morphological features of various organs of the body with the help of their
facilitator and discuss with their peers. This would help in enhancing their learning as well as motivate
them in team based learning environment.

FIELD VISITS:
Students visit community health areas to understand the common diseases and their preventive
measures.

1 NEUROSCIENCE MODULE-I
Introduction
Welcome to the neuroscience module. This module is necessary for your future work as doctors. This module
is designed to make your learning both interesting and productive by including activities.
This module provides basic understanding by integrating the teaching of Human Anatomy, physiology,
Biochemistry of neurotransmitters, and the basic Pharmacology and Pathology related to the disorders of the
central and peripheral nervous system and their relevant clinical applications.
By adopting this approach, we are preparing you better for your future work as doctor, where patients will
come to you with problems that are not categorized by discipline name.
In order to help you learn in an integrated manner, we have updated the learning of basic sciences around a
few key health-related situations (themes), which you are likely to encounter as second year medical students.
You will be expected to think about the themes and participate in case based learning sessions for clearing
your concepts and better learning. It will also help you focus your attention on what you need to achieve from
the lectures, practical and tutorials that have been scheduled during this module.

Rationale

Diseases of the nervous system are common all over the world. Timely diagnosis and management of acute
CNS problems like cerebrovascular accidents and infections prevents morbidity and mortality. Early diagnosis
and prompt treatment of degenerative and demyelinating diseases like Parkinson’s disease and multiple
sclerosis is important to reduce the occurrence of disability burden on community. Understanding the
structure and function of nervous system and its relationship with pathophysiology of diseases is essential
for diagnosis and management.

Duration:
06 Weeks

Learning Outcomes
At the end of this module students will be able to:

 Describe the anatomy of brain and spinal cord and the general organization of nervous system.
 Analyze the physiology of nervous system and Biochemistry of neuro-metabolites.
 Explain the mechanism of ischemia, hypoxia, infarction and intracranial hemorrhage.
 Elaborate the approach to a neurologic patient with its screening

Knowledge
At the end of this module, the students will be able to:

2 HEAD AND NECK MODULE-I

Introduction
 Head & neck module includes anatomical structures of head & neck as well as physiological aspect of
structures like Eyes (Vision), Ear (Hearing & body balance), nose (olfaction), & mouth (taste) i.e.
physiology of special senses.
 Although head & neck is not a separate system but its study as a system is essential as it contains
important organs like eyes, ears, nose, mouth, larynx etc. These are all in proximity to one another and
often diseases afflicting one of these also affect other organs by contiguity. Injuries to the region of head,
face & neck are associated with high mortality & morbidity.
 The head and neck module (HNM) for 2nd year MBBS aims to integrate both basic and clinical sciences.
In basic sciences, students will be able to explain developmental, gross and microscopic anatomy of the
head, neck, eyes, and ears along with relevant neurophysiology, pathology and Biochemistry. Integration
with relevant clinical sciences disciplines will help students apply their knowledge from a meaningful
clinical perspective.
 This module provides the basic understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the components of head
and neck

Rationale
Head & neck contains very important structures like eyes, nose, ears, oral cavity, larynx and pharynx. A
student should be well aware of anatomy of these structures as well their function. The diseases of these
structures are very common like tonsillitis, rhinitis, sore throat, red eye etc. With knowledge of basic science
and relevant clinical knowledge obtained through clinical lectures and case based scenarios, a student would
be able to help patients in their community with these common diseases. Thus they can benefit their society
and be a responsible member of community.

Duration
06 weeks

Learning Outcomes
At the end of this module student should be able to:

 Describe in detail the anatomy of structures of head and neck


 Describe the development of branchial arches
 Elaborate the histopathology of neoplastic lesions involving head and neck
 Describe the and microscopic structural and functional anatomy of the EYE
 Explain the physical principles of optics
 Describe the errors of refraction & their correction
 Explain mechanism of Photo-transduction, Excitation and Receptor Potential of the Rods
 Explain the photochemistry of color vision by cones and the color blindness
 Describe the physiology of visual pathway, areas VISUAL CORTEX and Lesion at the different
levels of visual pathway
 Explain the muscular control of eye movement,
25
 Describe the primary sensation of taste, the mechanism of taste perception and its transmission
into central nervous system
 Discuss the primary sensation of smell, excitation of olfactory cells & its transmission into central
nervous system.

Attitude
 Follow the basic laboratory protocols.
 Participate in class and practical work professionally.
 Communicate effectively in a team with pears, staff and teachers.
 Demonstrate professionalism and ethical values in dealing with patients, peers, staff and
teachers.
 Demonstrate the ability to reflect on the performance.

3 GIT & LIVER MODULE-I
Introduction
This module is designed to provide the students solid knowledge of one of the most essential systems of the
human body, GIT and biliary system and help students develop necessary skills to build their ability to apply
information to solve health related problems of general public.

This module aims to provide students opportunities to understand the basis of how to integrate their
knowledge of gross anatomy, histology and embryology related to GIT and liver with physiology, Biochemistry,
pathology and pharmacology of GI system to diagnose and treat a disease.

The students will learn basic structure, physiological and Biochemical aspects of Liver and viscera of GIT
and will study different types of secretions of GIT and their role in processes of absorption and digestion.
They will also learn basic knowledge of pathophysiology of common diseases of gastrointestinal tract and
liver occurring in our country.

Real life scenarios have been added in the module which will be discussed in small groups to help students
to develop them clinical approach to understand and solve the clinical problem by correlating their basic
knowledge of anatomy, physiology, Biochemistry and pathology with findings of a clinical case.

Rationale
Diseases of the GIT are common all over our country. It is essential to make early diagnosis and treat the
disease in order to reduce morbidity and mortality.
Basic knowledge of the structure and function of GIT is must to achieve the goal.
This module provides an integrative understanding and detailed and clinically relevant information of anatomy,
physiology, the Biochemistry along with pharmacology and pathology related to the digestive and biliary
system.

Duration
8 weeks

4 ENDOCRINOLOGY MODULE-I

Introduction
The Endocrine system is made up of ductless glands, which secrete chemical substances (hormones) directly
into blood, relays information and maintains a constant internal environment of the body called homeostasis.
The endocrine glands where hormones are produced, stored, and released. Once released into the
bloodstream, they travel to their target organ or tissue, which has receptors that recognize and react to the
hormone. Hormones of the endocrine system coordinate and control growth, metabolism, temperature
regulation, the stress response, reproduction, and many other functions.
This module will help the students to develop knowledge and understanding the basic concepts of endocrine
hormone their structure, physiological actions & disorders relates to primary pathogenesis, and how this
knowledge help in diagnosis and treatment.
This endocrine system module will facilitate to recognize the clinical presentations of common
endocrinological and metabolic disorders and relate clinical manifestations to basic sciences.

Rationale

5 RENAL & EXCRETORY MODULE-I
Introduction
Welcome to the Exc-S1& excretory module. This exciting module will serve as building block and is very
essential to your future work as doctors. This module is designed to make your learning both interesting and
productive by including several activities.
Fluid balance is the most important feature of life. Every cell in our body bathed in the cellular (extracellular
and intracellular) fluid compartment, movements of ions and balance between the media is of the utmost
important for the normal functioning of human being. Functions of Kidneys and their encountering system are
beautiful and well organized. Human beings contain pair of kidneys, whose unit cell is Nephron, which
functions in a systemic manner to perform many physiological functions, it is well oriented to counter the
effect of fluid balance and maintain normal pH within physiological limits.

Rationale
Exc-S1 system and excretory system is responsible for the body to get rid of waste and toxic substances. In
this module the Exc-S1 and excretory system will be examined in detail with emphasis on how the Exc-S1
system develops and functions on a cellular level as well as the mechanisms that underlie Exc-S1 diseases
such as electrolyte imbalance, dehydration, Exc-S1 hypertension, Exc-S1 failure, polycystic kidney, nephrotic
and nephritic syndrome.
This module will enable the students of second year to recognize the clinical presentations of common Exc-
S1 diseases and relate clinical manifestations to basic sciences. It will be further revisited in the following
years.

Duration
06 weeks

Learning Outcomes
At the end of this module, the students will be able to:
 Describe the development, structure and functions of various parts of the Exc-S1& excretory
system and its clinical importance.

KNOWLEDGE
At the end of this module, the students will be able to:
 Describe the components of the Exc-S1& excretory system by learning and applying the relevant
basic sciences.
 Apply the above knowledge to a few common real-life situations (Nephritis, Metabolic disorders,
UTI) to explain how the anatomy, physiology and Biochemistry are altered in the given situation.
 Describe the anatomy of the different parts of the Exc-S1& excretory system in detail.
 Describe the development and anomalies of the Exc-S1& excretory system
 Define and identify the microscopic features of the Exc-S1& excretory system

6 REPRODUCTION MODULE-I

Introduction
The Reproductive module is designed to study the anatomy, physiology of the male and female reproductive
organs in detail to 2nd year MBBS students aims to integrate both basic and clinical sciences.
The pelvis is the region of the trunk that lies below the abdomen. Although the abdominal and pelvic cavities
are continuous, the two regions are described separately.
The pelvic cavity contains the lower ends of the intestinal and urinary tracts and the internal organs of
reproduction. The physician is often confronted with problems involving infections, injuries and prolapses of
the rectum, uterus and vagina. Emergency situations involving the bladder, the pregnant uterus, ectopic
pregnancy, spontaneous abortion and acute pelvic inflammation diseases are examples of problems found
in the female. The urinary bladder and the prostate in the male are the frequent sites of disease.
Without knowledge of the anatomic position of the veins in the anal canal, the physician would not have been
able to make a diagnosis. The purpose of this module is to review the significant anatomy of the reproductive
organs relative to clinical problems. This is a fact that in-depth knowledge of the anatomy, physiology of the
pelvic and perineum regions is necessary before a physician can even contemplate making an initial
examination and start treatment.

Rationale
This module provides extensive information about reproductive system. It enables the undergraduate
students to narrate the knowledge of Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry Pharmacology and Pathology of
the structures and functions of the male and female reproductive system. The motive is that students can
correlate this knowledge with the clinical presentation of internal and external genital diseases in forthcoming
years in order to be able to manage general gynecological problems, pregnancy related issues in the mother
and neonates, sexually transmitted infections, infertility issues and breast disorders
