Experiences of 2nd MBBS students.

1	“Early clinical exposure in 1st MBBS was valuable because it provided us an opportunity to learn basic clinical skills that have improved over the later two years i.e. bedside skills, examination and basic history taking”.
2	“ECE is essential to increase our interest and enhance our learning in clinical subjects. It gave us basic orientation in applied concepts of clinical subjects”.
3	“ECE during first year of medical education was beneficial since we somehow learned to link basic subjects with clinical practice. It also helped in understanding applied concepts into clinical subjects”.
