Introduction: Introduction: Vertical integration in medical education bridges basic and clinical sciences, enhancing the relevance and retention of knowledge. Graduate Medical Education Regulations 2019 (GMER 2019) permits up to 20% of content to be delivered through integration, promoting meaningful, application-based learning.
Need for the Study: Cervical cancer requires an understanding of Anatomy, Pathology, Microbiology, and Clinical Management, making it ideal for demonstrating how vertical integration improves the application of basic and clinical knowledge. There are only a few research articles on vertical integration in Indian medical colleges.
Aim: To assess the impact of vertical integration in medical education in a medical college in the northeastern state of Manipur.
Materials and Methods: A quasi-experimental study involving 92 second-year MBBS students will be conducted at Churachandpur Medical College, Imphal campus, Imphal, Manipur, India, from November 2024 to September 2025. The intervention consists of a two-hour vertically integrated teaching module on cervical cancer, combining didactic lectures with a Demonstrate-Observe-Assist-Perform (DOAP) session. Students will undergo pre and post-intervention assessments using validated Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) and Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) stations. A paired Student’s t-test will be used to compare mean scores, with a p-value <0.05 considered statistically significant.
