They do so at their own pace by identifying the resources available and time permissible. This observational questionnaire based study was conducted to understand the perceptions of medical teacher on various aspects of ‘Professional Development Plan’ through Mentoring and Learning (ML) Web sessions.

Overall participants in present study stated that continuous learning- medical and teaching related as the most important factor of their professional development.
