The conventional curriculum in preclinical medical education has a need for early clinical exposure programs that help in correlation of basic science data with clinical skills. This is helpful to develop clinical reasoning skills, problem-solving abilities, team work, communication skills and overall attitudes and behaviour relevant for a healthcare provider. Preclinical task based learning (TskBL) is an active learning strategy in which the focus for the first year medical student is a real task done by a doctor. In this strategy the student-doctors undergo a standardized patient encounter and discuss the learning issues related to the task in the first year of medical school. The current study is focussed on the student perception of the effectiveness of task based learning module.The TskBL was conducted among first year medical students for nine topics that are commonly encountered in the clinics. After TskBL was planned and implemented the evaluation of the modules was done using focus group discussions. The students highlighted the importance of standardized patients in the TskBL strategy in providing early clinical exposure in preclinical medical education. They reported its usefulness gaining essential knowledge, skills and attitudes for medical learning. They reported positive outcomes of module design and processes and activities in TskBL. Based on the negative aspects of the modules, future improvement was suggested in improving the usefulness of standardized patient encounter. This study showed the novice learners' outlook of the potency of TskBL for several other topics of clinical relevance to provide early clinical exposure in medical schools.
临床前医学教育中的传统课程需要早期临床接触项目，以帮助将基础科学数据与临床技能相关联。这有助于培养临床推理能力、解决问题的能力、团队合作、沟通技巧以及与医疗服务提供者相关的整体态度和行为。临床前基于任务的学习（TskBL）是一种主动学习策略，其中一年级医学生的重点是医生完成的实际任务。在这种策略中，学生医生会经历一次标准化病人问诊，并在医学院一年级讨论与该任务相关的学习问题。当前的研究集中在学生对基于任务的学习模块有效性的看法上。TskBL在一年级医学生中针对临床中常见的九个主题进行。在规划和实施TskBL后，使用焦点小组讨论对这些模块进行了评估。学生们强调了标准化病人在TskBL策略中为临床前医学教育提供早期临床接触的重要性。他们报告了其在获取医学学习所需的知识、技能和态度方面的有用性。他们报告了TskBL中模块设计以及过程和活动的积极成果。基于这些模块的消极方面，建议在未来改进标准化病人问诊的有用性。这项研究展示了新手学习者对TskBL在其他几个临床相关主题上的效力的看法，这些主题可在医学院提供早期临床接触。
