Teaching
Learning that reaches the ward and the village
Teaching runs through both of my current roles: undergraduate and postgraduate sessions at AIIMS Bathinda, and field-based education that links the classroom to community practice.
Undergraduate medical teaching
Theory and demonstration classes for MBBS students on Community Medicine and public health topics, alongside postgraduate teaching and academic sessions for medical and nursing students.
Family Adoption Program
Field visits and household visits under the Family Adoption Program, linking classroom learning with community-based practice — including NCD risk profiling of adopted families.
Research mentorship
Mentoring undergraduate medical students in quantitative and qualitative research — study design, data collection, data management and analysis.
Qualitative research guidance
Guided seventh-semester MBBS students in a qualitative study exploring social media use among youth in rural Faridabad.
Journal clubs & academic discussion
Journal clubs, interactive discussions and academic activities that promote critical appraisal and evidence-based practice.
Medical education innovation
The TRACE & READ frameworks
Two structured frameworks for undergraduate teaching, developed and evaluated through quasi-experimental work and recognised at MEDED Conclave 2026.
TRACE framework
A structured teaching framework developed and evaluated through modified Pictionary in undergraduate medical education, studied in a quasi-experimental design. Presented as a poster at MEDED Conclave 2026, AIIMS New Delhi.
READ framework
A structured framework for teaching patient education skills to undergraduate medical students — teaching person-centred health education. Recognised with the Best Practice Pitch Award at MEDED Conclave 2026, and presented as a prize-winning poster at the CME on the 3 Cs of Integrated Teaching, AIIMS Bathinda, July 2026.
