Poster Competition Y-2, GIN Module’23

Following the ongoing module of GIN, the module director Dr Samreena, HOD Biochemistry, collaborated with the department of Community Medicine to conduct a poster competition for the students of Year 2 MBBS. The posters made were relevant to the theme of ‘My Plate’.

Dr Sajida Naseem, HOD Community Medicine, and her department guided the students in the right direction regarding how to produce a balanced diet in conjunction with the set theme. For this purpose, Students were divided into small groups, handed a scenario each, and were encouraged to devise meal plans with reference to the given scenarios. All the students actively participated in the activity and worked relentlessly to ensure that their posters would stand out.

The students were then given the opportunity to showcase their efforts for the faculty to judge. Every group could construct their own unique diet with the help of illustrations and elaborate further upon their ideas to the judges as they visited each group.

The esteemed judges included Prof. Ashraf, HOD Anatomy, Dr Sajida Naseem, HOD Community Medicine Department and Dr Samreena, HOD Biochemistry. The honourable HODs were accompanied by their fellow department members.

To commemorate the efforts made by the students, applause was given to all groups that actively participated in the activity, and the top three positions were handed out after consultation with the judges.

The students welcomed the introduction of such activities into their curriculum as it helped them to learn about nutrition and health more engagingly and collaboratively.
