Regarding Evaluation Methods

Its nice to have a curriculum plan as per the global essentials of medical education.the technology is rapidly changing.we have to train and teach our students according to this.I felt very happy so much emphasis was given in to anaesthesia and resuscitation in curriculum. in fact we have to train basic doctor these skills.the other topics also quite useful.we can include management of trauma victim and management of unconscious patient.ICU posting during intern ship is a must for all. more emphasis should be given to problem based learning. Communication skills, medical ethics,managerial skills, computer knowldge, should be included in curriculum.

Regarding Evaluation Methods.
its time to modify evaluation methods by including tools with more validity and reliability.OSCE.OSPE,has to be included.the curriculum and evaluation methods should be uniform through out country.
