Conducting the practical examination with strict observance of social distancing, is an uphill task. The faculty of our department is busy preparing mock clinical situations, such as showing patient's videography, clinical images etc. to the students for them to make an assessment and reply accordingly.

We are not too sure whether this is the right way to test the clinical skills of an outgoing postgraduate, but may be OK for the unprecedented times that we are facing now.

We welcome suggestions on how to go about conducting practicals for the MD final exam.
