KIST Medical College is a new medical school in Lalitpur, Nepal. In Nepal, six basic science subjects are taught together in an integrated organ system-based manner with early clinical exposure and community medicine. Correlation seminars are conducted at the end of covering each organ system. The topics are decided by the core academic group (consisting of members from each basic science department, the Department of Community Medicine, the academic director, and the clinical and program coordinators) considering the public health importance of the condition and its ability to include learning objectives from a maximum number of subjects. The learning objectives are decided by individual departments and finalized after the meeting of the core group. There are two student coordinators for each seminar and an evaluation group evaluates each seminar and presenter. Correlation seminars help students revise the organ system covered and understand its clinical importance, promote teamwork and organization, and supports active learning. Correlation seminars should be considered as a learning modality by other medical schools.
加德满都科技与科学学院医学院是尼泊尔拉利特布尔的一所新建医学院。在尼泊尔，六门基础科学课程以基于器官系统整合的方式进行教学，同时早期接触临床和社区医学。在每个器官系统讲授结束时会举办相关性研讨会。主题由核心学术小组（由各基础科学系成员、社区医学系成员、学术主任以及临床和项目协调员组成）根据该疾病的公共卫生重要性及其涵盖最多学科学习目标的能力来决定。学习目标由各个部门确定，并在核心小组会议后最终确定。每次研讨会有两名学生协调员，一个评估小组对每次研讨会和演讲者进行评估。相关性研讨会有助于学生复习所学的器官系统并理解其临床重要性，促进团队合作和组织能力，支持主动学习。其他医学院校应将相关性研讨会视为一种学习模式。
