In order to make the existing MBBS curriculum more effective as per the health care needs of the nation, Medical Council of India (MCI) has taken a bold step by proposing new teaching-learning approaches including a structured longitudinal programme on attitude, ethics and communication, which is named as the Attitude, Ethics and Communication Module (AETCOM). AETCOM which is a case-based module offers a framework of competency-based learning in the AETCOM domains that a medical professional must possess at the time of graduation to effectively fulfill the functions of an Indian Medical Graduate. Before implementing the AETCOM, the MCI introduced a mandatory training for the faculty of medical colleges through its nodal and regional centres. The authors of this paper analysed the open-ended feedback received from the participants participated in the nine AETCOM sensitisation workshops conducted in a tertiary care teaching hospital which is also an MCI Regional Centre for conducting faculty development programmes. The feedback from the faculty participants of AETCOM were compiled and analysed for better understanding of their concerns regarding AETCOM. Based on these compilations, the authors have discussed about the organisation of AETCOM module and the anticipated challenges as perceived by the faculty participants with suggested measures for encountering the challenges in transacting the module at undergraduate level under selected headings.
