Our theory curriculum delivery in general medicine follows from constructivist learning principles where knowledge is co constructed by the secondary (medical student) and primary beneficiaries of medical education (patients). The links below each question represents the real work (bloom level 3) done by each student to generate the (bloom level 1-2) theory question paper below. This illustrates that the syllabus in medicine lies in what this batch of students have constructed themselves over the last few years of their practical postings. Please don't erase these links. We have purposefully chosen the average or below average student learning portfolios that can make medical educators introspect on better ways to strengthen our students practical training foundation. NMC already seems to be introspecting in it's recent strategy to change the theory practical equation to 40:60 instead of the current 50:50. If we look at the existing hidden curriculum it will be 80:20 theory practical and 20 here is represents the practical free pass while NMC could be wanting to change the current game to 50:50 by disrupting the hidden curriculum with their 40:60 directive?
