Students should be exposed to early clinical scenario so that they start developing competency-based learning right from their MBBS 1(st) year. Medical Council of India has recognized this need and has suggested early clinical exposure of MBBS 1(st) year students in their document Vision 2015. Medical education in India needs change for achieving desired competencies. It has been concluded that Indian medical undergraduates have inadequate knowledge in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
