Exploring medical educators’ perspectives on teaching effectiveness and student learning

Medical educators recognise the importance of student-centred approaches but face significant challenges due to institutional pressures, outdated curricula, and inadequate assessment methods. There is a critical need for curriculum reform, adoption of continuous formative assessments, and faculty development programs to enhance teaching effectiveness. Institutions should promote environments that value pedagogical excellence and support innovative teaching practices. Aligning educators' perceptions with actual teaching practices is essential to improve medical education and prepare students for professional practice.
