Question 5:

This  pandemic had a major impact on education being unable to attend offline postings eblogs has been of great help. It's been 6 weeks of GM postings .During first day of my posting I was unable to understand the complications of particular disease and its treatment, but day by day I am getting better at grasping the concepts.The case sheets being given to us makes us more enthusiastic and helps us in furthering our knowledge. 

Sharing knowledge with our peers and interacting with them regarding cases has been of a lot help.

Assigning intern to a batch of five students is a lot helpful for knowing the basics of history taking and correcting our mistakes. 

 I would like to thank GM department for creating such a platform to progress our clinical knowledge.
