Keywords:
induction programme, feedback, five-point lickert scale, anxiety, pre-validated questionnaireAbstract
In India, students enter medical profession at the age of 17-19 years. At such tender age, this cohort of students has dissimilar psychological characteristics such as fear of ragging, feeling of homesickness, peer pressure, parental pressures, language problems, and adjustments to hostel life and food. In such a psychological state, they are expected to understand and appreciate the medical subjects. The health professional will understand their responsibilities with regards to quality service delivery in their work station. The aim and objective of the study was to evaluate the feedback of Induction Programme in newly entered medical undergraduate programme. 199 students participated in this one day program held on 1/10/2018.Their feedback was obtained by a pre-designed and pre-validated questionnaire on a five-point Likert scale. 199 students responded in feedback on induction on varied criterias of induction programme. It is therefore important to give newly appointed lecturers the best possible start in the teaching profession since their input is vital for promoting learning. A study in 2017 was done by Patel J on 107 students with the feedback about orientation program, whereas all the 112 students gave feedback on foundation course.
