Abstract
The rational prescribing of drugs is an essential skill of medical doctors. Clinical pharmacology plays an important role in the development of these skills by teaching clinical pharmacology and therapeutics to undergraduate medical students. The primary objective of teaching pharmacology is to enable undergraduate medical students to take rational therapeutic decisions in clinical practice. However, this objective is not adequately met by the prevailing curricula. As the subject is taught with high factual information rather than therapeutic skills. Therefore, a pilot survey was carried out to determine the opinion of interns regarding the bedside pharmacology teaching, and its incorporation in undergraduate curriculum.
