The document discusses the Competency-based Integrated System of Postgraduate Medical Education (CISP). It proposes shifting from a conventional to a student-centered, problem-based, integrated, community-based, elective, and systemic curriculum. CISP includes 10 modules, with 4 ready in 2013 and 4 more in the pipeline. The foundation course objectives are to orient students to the medical field and develop skills like language, relationships, communication, learning, and stress management. The foundation course would last 2 months and require communication/clinical skills labs and professional expertise.
