Pathology is a para-clinical subject, which is taught in 2nd phase of MBBS in our country. Traditionally in our Department the teaching has been mainly by the lectures. The theory part of the subject has been taught in the same way for ages now. Holding the attention span of the students is in itself a big challenge for teachers. Given the mammoth syllabus to be covered in a short period, students get disoriented very easily and it is impossible to catch the attention of all the students at one point of time. So some alternate methods have to be identified in order to meet this task. This study puts in an effort to find the effectiveness of one such teaching method recognised by medical council of India and medical teaching bodies in other parts of the world.
