CURRICULUM, SYLLABUS & TEACHING METHODS: 
 
The core of learning is to achieve a deep understanding through key learning strategies with continuous support and guidance of the expert educationalists. 
• Student centred Directed self-learning. 
• Interactive Peer Assisted Learning 
• Reflective Learning 
• Traditional factual delivery 
 
Our approach to student centred learning starts with breaking the teacher-student barrier by encouraging free interaction. This also helps us to understand the student in depth. 
The second step is delivering factual knowledge which often needs a traditional approach of sharing knowledge, skills and resources. 
With this background, the learners are then exposed to a Directed self-learning approach, where students learn experientially through reflective practice with the guidance of the teachers. A directed approach is imperative as students are still young learners and need ample guidance from the teachers. 
Finally, a peer assisted model is introduced where group interaction with the peers is encouraged for collaborative learning. Again, guidance from the teachers will help students understand and construct knowledge based on the observed positive and negative interactions. 
Even though multiple approaches are incorporated, it has been clearly and meticulously designed so that the students are guided by the teachers thorough out this learning journey. 
 
Mini medical Interviews (MMI) 
 
MMI is a globally recognised pathway to identify students who are ready to undertake clinical medicine as a career. Excelling in MMI remains mandatory to gain admission to medical schools in UK. Intense exam oriented MMI coaching are readily available in many areas to help students who want to pursue clinical medicine as their career. However, our multimodal approach is aimed to stimulate and enhance intrinsic motivation of the students, so that they participate in the coaching for deep learning and understanding the principles of medicine. If such deep learning happens, students can excel in any exam formats. This remains very essential as high-stake exams like MMI often pose students with varied challenges and we need to empower the students to perform well and excel in uncertain situations. Again, this is possible only by training with expert teachers. Hence, stimulating the intrinsic motivation remains the key area of learning here. 
 
How learning happens 
 
The students are equipped with factual knowledge through teaching and resources. 
They are then exposed to a mock interview like session. Students revolve through Multiple stations, scenarios of which cover the 25 core concepts in an integrated manner. This concentrates on key domains: Professionalism which includes communicational skills (verbal and nonverbal), Reasoning and structuring the answer. This is when students are allowed to experience various elements which includes, the organization, their performance, examiner behaviour etc. This gives a concrete experience of actual MMI. 
The next step will an individualised Debrief session: This will be a dialogue session with free interaction between the teachers and the students. Here, the students will be guided to reflect on their experience in the stations and the teachers will collaborate with their feedback. This reflective experience is a very essential step in learning. 
The next phase is building their core knowledge and skills based on abstract conceptualization. Once they understand their strengths and weaknesses, they essentially acquire the necessary knowledge and skills. 
However, Reinforcement is highly essential in young learners to retain the acquired knowledge. This can be done through revisions, reflections, recalls and repetitions.
