Early Clinical Exposure: A Case Based Approach in Clinical Physiology

The early clinical exposure (ECE) has been introduced in the 1st MBBS curriculum as a part of vertical integration between the first year and the final year subjects. ECE gives a good exposure to the students, in gaining an insight into clinical and social aspects of patient care.
