The current MCI summative and formative assessment guidelines can be accessed online here https://www.mciindia.org/CMS/information-desk/for-colleges/pg-curricula-2
Quoting briefly from those below:
Final university MD medicine summative assessment also known as the Post graduate examination shall be in three parts:
1. Thesis
2) Theory that would include four theory papers, as below:
Paper I: Basic Medical Sciences (at the end of first year of training)
Paper II: Medicine and allied specialties including pediatrics, dermatology &
psychiatry
Paper III: Tropical Medicine and Infectious Diseases
Paper IV: Recent Advances in Medicine
3. Clinical / Practical and Oral/viva voce Examination:
The final clinical examination should include:
cases pertaining to major systems
stations for clinical, procedural and communication skills
Log Book Records and day-to-day observation during the training (Record of formative assessment-logical interpretation)
Oral/viva voce examination shall be comprehensive enough to test the
post graduate student’s overall knowledge of the subject
Daily Roster:
1) For evaluation around "cases pertaining to major systems"
The student regularly begins the day evaluating the cases admitted in his her unit and presents it to the professor (also a university examiner) in the grand rounds. In the absence of the professor the next in command is to be presented the cases for analysis and decision making.
2) For evaluation of "clinical, procedural and communication skills," the students will be assessed in their grand round case for these specific competencies using technique of cross examination of their performance along with recorded videos of them performing the procedures.
3) Oral viva voce shall include questions related to the necessary knowledge needed in resolution of diagnostic and therapeutic uncertainty in their regular cared for individual cases, by formulating evidence based queries in the PICO format, reviewing the literature by searching online and finally critically appraising the accessed literature in the form of regular journal clubs and seminars. All these regular activity shall be documented and shared by the student in his her E logbook aka "online learning portfolio."
4) For regular practice and evaluation of thesis and theory retention skills, the student shall have a regular 2-4 PM session to discuss his her thesis face to face with all the departmental members for their feedback on his her current prowess and a regular online thesis case-data sharing session through his her E log book. The student's theory retention skills will be tested by asking them to prepare a speech on one theory topic for the day so as to not only enable his prowess to tackle the summative theory papers on D day but also test his pedagogic skills in imparting knowledge.
