【 摘 要 】

Background: Understanding complex molecular biochemical processes is crucial to Ist year MBBS students in solving clinical problems. Though animations have been developed to aid understanding of molecular processes, they are not medically relevant. There is a need to develop animations in specific areas that cater to the requirements of MBBS students.  There are no studies that have recommended the focus areas for the development of medically relevant animations for biochemical processes for MBBS students.  Objectives: In this study our objective was to select the focus areas for animation development in Biochemistry for the students of Ist year MBBS. Methods: The study was conducted in Department of Biochemistry MVJ Medical College & Research Hospital, Hoskote, Bangalore. Eight textbooks of Biochemistry commonly referred by Ist year MBBS students were used to delineate topics and sub topics that could become focus areas for animation development for the Ist year MBBS students. Results: The topics and subtopics that need animations in Biochemistry for Ist year MBBS were shortlisted. These include 18 topics and 52 subtopics. Conclusion: We recommend that medically relevant animations should be developed in specific focus areas of Biochemistry for the Ist year MBBS students to help in better understanding and application of Biochemistry in solving clinical problems.
