Emerging Teaching Methodologies in Medical Biochemistry & the need to Implement these in Pakistani Medical Colleges.
Ophthalmol Update Jan ;12(1):66-8.

The basic medical sciences are taught in the first two years of medical colleges. Methods used in the teaching of human anatomy like cadaver dissection, microscopy, and imaging techniques have made it easy for the students to grasp the concepts. Learning physiology is also not problematic because they can visualize the phenomenon as they learn. The challenge arises when it comes to the teaching of medical biochemistry. Since it is the study of life at molecular level, it is not easy to envisage everything that is being imparted. With the advent of the information age, there is not only remarkable increase in the degree of advancement in the field of biochemistry and molecular biology, also the teaching methodologies have revolutionized. Following is a brief introduction to the rich list of educational resources that are augmenting the traditional textbook and lecture based approaches across the world. To keep pace with the advancing world we must work towards implementing these into Pakistani medical colleges. The conventional old syllabi should be replaced by these cutting edge techniques and software.
