This will help the faculty to reduce their burden in preparing for a class, help them teach more effectively and encourage them to conduct formative assessments frequently. Several softwares of such kind are available in the market and clinical key from Elsevier is more heard of. Hence this session was organized with the help of Elsevier people. About the programme: The programme started with the introductory remarks by Dr.V.Mahidhar Reddy, MEU Coordinator, NMCH.
