Abstract
Teaching curriculum for Otorhinolaryngology [ENT] for undergraduate medical students includes lectures, tutorials and clinical postings with bedside clinics. Lectures and clinical postings are time tested methods of teaching clinical subjects like ENT. Tutorials is comparatively new and has a significant impact on academic achievements of students. Tutorials or small group learning consists of 10- 12 students and one teacher discussing one study topic in depth including anatomy, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, medical management, surgical management and recent advances. While the importance of traditional lectures and clinical postings is irrefutable, tutorials are an important supplement to these methods. There is improved understanding, student involvement and higher motivation for self-learning and research. It also encourages positive interpersonal interactions and has better retention of study material. Conclusion:Tutorials in ENT are beneficial for undergraduate medical students and help them acquire knowledge, fine skills to solve clinical problems, get confidence in social interactions and develop interest in research.
