Location
CHS Tutorial Room 1 A & B
Start Date

Abstract
Overview
Despite clear implication of integrating BS in undergrad training, it is struggling to effectively establish its case in medical universities. Three strategic questions are: Who should be teaching BS; What should be taught & How should it be taught? Ongoing discussion of the challenges faced by current programs and possible solutions is essential. In view of dearth of trainers & training resources, consensus must be built on core curriculum & strategies for developing a trained faculty.
Objectives
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to
- Discuss common barriers/difficulties in integrating BS in undergraduate curriculum
- Outline core content of BS relevant to medical training
- Make recommendations for developing a multi-disciplinary faculty of BS in an institute
