Undergraduate, Post graduate and Continuous professional development are the three critical sectors of medical education.

A change in the professional, institutional, and organizational culture encircling the training of medical professionals is an important prerequisite for implementing CBME. Medical college as an educational system deals with department goals leading to institutional goals leading to community targets which inturn are connected to sociopolitical realities. The objective of this work is to initiate new teaching strategy at medical school to overcome biases against CBME in the culture of medical education.
