Brief Summary
|
JustificationWhile
EPAs are widely implemented in postgraduate medical training internationally,
there is limited research on their role in undergraduate ENT education in
India.
This
study addresses the gap by piloting the adaptation and implementation of EPAs
tailored to ENT teaching in a competency-based curriculum framework. |
