Decoding CBME through a longitudinal faculty development program: A comparative study.

National Medical Commission (NMC) conducts two-day CISP workshop under Faculty Development Programs (FDP) for CBME but short duration may not be enough for proper faculty improvement. In our study, 62 faculty (CISP trained and non-trained) underwent longitudinal FDP with CBME modules for three months with weekly sessions, pre-post tests and feedback were taken. Initially trained faculty performed better but with repeated sessions, non-trained also improved and both groups showed similar post-test results and feedback trend. So, CISP should be done as longitudinal program to save time and manpower and to improve CBME understanding in faculty.
