Abstract
Background Pharmacology, like any other branch of medicine, is progressing by leaps and bounds. It is generally agreed that reviewing the teaching program at regular intervals, and modifications in the methodologies of imparting basic knowledge about drugs and drug therapies is a must. Medical students are in direct contact with the health of patients, it is very important to investigate the factors affecting their learning. It has been observed that these professors, in fact, lack the necessary innovations in medical education which will cause that future physician’s needs are not safeguarded properly and they will encounter with serious problems at the time of offering service to patients. It was felt that the student’s feedback would reveal a) Whether the so-called reforms are acceptable to them. b) Their opinion for the betterment of teaching/learning the subject. c) Drawbacks in our curriculum. d) Difficulties present at the student side e) Drawbacks present at the teachers side Methods A questionnaire was designed and given to Second-year medical students. They have to fill in and make suggestions according to the options given. Medical students just appeared for II MBBS examination (waiting for the results) are the participants in the study. A questionnaire consisting of 20 questions with 3–8 options were given to each of them and asked to tick the option/ options which they feel was/were the best.
