Background: An endocrine disruptor is an exogenous chemical or mixture of chemicals that interfere with any aspect of hormone action. It can interfere with the body’s endocrine system and produce adverse cardiovascular, neurological, developmental, reproductive, and metabolic effects in humans. This study aims to evaluate the knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) of the medical students regarding the exposure, usage, and long-term harmful effects of Endocrine Disrupt...

Background: Conventional methods of one-way teaching may not involve the integration of clinical skills and may become more inefficient and passive [1]. During the COVID-19 pandemic, limited patient interaction and shift to online lectures greatly reduced the clinical exposure and opportunity of developing interpersonal skills for junior medical students. In this study, we hosted online webinars with case-based teaching for medical students so that they can amalgamate clinical...

Background: 3D-modelling is a computer-generated simulation technique that allows the users to interact with a three-dimensional environment and provide an immersive experience to understand minuscule details which becomes especially important when understanding the anatomical relations of endocrinology organs. During the COVID-19 pandemic, medical lectures were shifted to online mode which diminished the opportunity of cadaveric-based teaching that is routinely done for first...
