Two months are designated for elective rotations after completion of the examination at end of the third MBBS Part I and before commencement of third MBBS Part II.
It is mandatory for learners to do an elective. The elective time should not be used to make up for missed clinical postings, shortage of attendance or other purposes.
Structure
(a) The learner shall rotate through two elective blocks of 04 weeks each.
(b) Block 1 shall be done in a pre-selected preclinical or para-clinical or other basic sciences laboratory OR under a researcher in an ongoing research project.
During the electives regular clinical postings shall continue.
(c) Block 2 shall be done in a clinical department (including specialties, super-specialties, ICUs, blood bank and casualty) from a list of electives developed and available in the institution.
OR
as a supervised learning experience at a rural or urban community clinic.
(d) Institutions will pre-determine the number and nature of electives, names of the supervisors, and the number of learners in each elective based on the local conditions, available resources and faculty.
Each institution will develop its own mechanism for allocation of electives.
It is preferable that elective choices are made available to the learners in the beginning of the academic year.
The learner must submit a learning log book based on both blocks of the elective.
Institutions may use part of this time for strengthening basic skill certification.
