Medical Education Department

Medical education is the backbone of a safe, modern health system. In today’s rapidly evolving, competency-driven era, the DME ensures that training at RLKU Medical College remains rigorous, relevant, and aligned with national and international standards. The DME leads curriculum planning, assessment quality, and faculty development, aligning all programs with UHS requirements and PM&DC/WFME standards. We coordinate outcome-based curriculum design and mapping, timetable integration, and continuous course review with the Curriculum Committee—ensuring constructive alignment between learning outcomes, teaching methods, and assessments.
Core services include faculty development (teaching skills, feedback, OSCE/OSPE, small-group facilitation, e-learning), assessment planning, secure item banking, psychometrics (item analysis, reliability indices, post-exam review), and student evaluation systems (surveys, focus groups, feedback loops) with the help of Exam Cell and Quality Assurance Departments. DME supports Skills/Simulation Lab activities (checklists, scenario design, DOPS/mini-CEX/OSCE stations), learning resources (study guides, study skills, remediation pathways), and mentorship programs. We embed educational research and scholarship, promote reflective practice, and disseminate QA reports for continuous improvement.
In addition, DME is actively involved in teaching covering Professionalism, Leadership, Ethics and Research aligned with the curriculum of the affiliated University.
Operationally, the DME provides templates/SOPs, maintains accreditation-ready documentation, and partners with departments, QAD, Library/IT, and Student Affairs to deliver coherent learner experience.
Our mandate is clear: evidence-based teaching, fair and defensible assessment, and measurable outcomes—so every RLKU Medical College graduate meets defined competencies and is prepared for clinical training and lifelong learning.
