dc.description.abstractThe medical education system in India is one of the largest in the world. Therefore, the quality of Indian medical education and the physicians it produces has implications on public health at large. Change is the necessity of evolution and growth. In this article, we address the challenges Indian undergraduate medical education faces and attempt to address them. The steps suggested are delineation of goals and objectives of education based upon the need of the country, adoption of innovative digital-based synchronous and asynchronous teaching, both in-person and digital learning methodology (hybrid model), early introduction of clinical postings, family adoption program, shortening the course of MBBS, problem-based learning, adjustments in the course structure, updating of course content, rationalizing assessment strategy, and emphasis on structured and skill-oriented internship.en_US
