QUESTION FIVE:
There is no doubt that pandemic has been really tough on all of us. It has put a sudden jolt on all our academic routines and day to day life. And the medical students have had the greatest impact. As the students of the third semester, we were all excited to attend our clinical postings as it is the foundation of our medical careers and the knowledge it offers is of great importance to shape us be better doctors. To be not able to attend our clinical postings physically has been really challenging as nothing triumphs a patient-doctor interaction in person. But, over the course of last month Dr.Rakesh Biswas, the HOD of general medicine and the entire department has been really helpful to us and have done the best in their being for us to get a maximum exposure out of this. We have learnt the basics of how to take down history and write case sheets and also how efficiently E-blogs can be used to to put down what we have learnt in a proper performa. Though the experience has been really thrilling we look forward to attend the clinical postings in person and get the at most knowledgable experience out of this.
