Undergraduate medical education in India remains largely gender-blind, and the Gender in Medical Education course is designed to bridge this gap. The course is conceptualised as two integrated levels: where medical educators develop their own competencies and sustainably facilitate a gender-integrated and gender-sensitive curriculum among medical graduates and their peers and colleagues. CEHAT began this unique experiment of implementing gender-integrated course modules in undergraduate medical education in Maharashtra, in collaboration with the Maharashtra University of Health Sciences (MUHS) and the Directorate of Medical Education and Research (DMER). Now, the outreach of the course has expanded to include different states.
The course is primarily designed for medical educators and routinely implemented as a Training of Trainers (ToT). Here educators are trained and skilled on ways to mainstream gender in their coursework, lectures and practice by building a rationale for gender-sensitive education which emphasises links between gender, violence and health, and the need for gender-sensitive and client-centred health care services. CEHAT has developed resources for these educators in the form of modules for integrating gender in 5 key departments that often provide medical care to women and children: Medicine, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Psychiatry, Community Medicine and Forensic Medicine and Toxicology.
Like all of CEHAT’s courses, the GME course uses participatory methods and interactive tools like expert lectures, role play, films etc. for the training.
