In lieu of the new syllabus being introduced, a core group of 40,000 medical teachers, all of whom were previously trained by the MCI is ensuring training for teachers as well.
Some of the new elements in the course include subjects such as ethics, clinical exposure, inter-department co-ordination, skill enhancement modules, a new foundation bridge course etc.

However, not all faculties appointed to teach the course are happy with the changes being made. Some of them have noted that few important topics have been left out from the syllabus such as disability competencies for health professionals, importance of empathetic non-verbal communication etc.
