    Abstract Introduction: A clinical vignette is a useful tool for teaching both clinical and basic sciences courses. The clinical vignette-based interactive discussion sessions were conducted for residents in the internal medicine department of Universal College of Medical Sciences( Bhairahawa, Nepal) with aim to link the residents to clinical practice setting. The objective of this study was to assess the feedback of participant.
    Methods: The sessions were done five days a week between January 16 and February 26, 2019. Each session was between 45 and 60 minutes. The clinical vignettes related to internal medicine were downloaded using Google. Each vignette was divided into sections, related questions with responses were developed and the discussion was updated referring to the latest articles on subject. Eleven residents participated in the session. At the end of last session feedback was taken on a validated semi-structured questionnaire. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 21.
    Results: Residents rated the clinical vignette-based interactive discussion sessions on the scale 1 = poor to 10= excellent; usefulness (9.45±1.04), content (9.27±0.90), relevance of session (9.18±1.08), facilitation (9.27±1.10), and overall (9.36±0.81). Participants rated the structure of vignettes discussed (3.73±0.47), the questions related to vignettes discussed (3.82±0.40), and discussion related to vignettes done (3.64±0.50) on a Likert scale 1-4 (4= extremely important, 3= moderately important, 2= slightly important, 1= not important). The two-way interaction, the approach toward differential diagnosis, diagnosis and management, choosing appropriate investigation, clinical relevancy of vignettes, boosts understanding, enhances thinking power and thinking outside the box, improving clinical approach and academic learning were among the strengths of sessions shared by residents. All residents proposed to continue these sessions and develop vignettes of our patients. The majority of the residents recommended conducting session on alternate days.
    Conclusion: This method of learning allowing the residents to follow and construct clinical outcome in a logical and systematic sequence that may be applicable in real-life clinical practice settings. This method enhances the thinking power of residents and their problem-solving capacity.

    Abstract The conflict is a disagreement within oneself or differences or dispute among persons that has potential to cause harm. It is inevitable and may occur in any profession including healthcare. It could be among any group of healthcare professionals or healthcare team between different group of healthcare professionals or between patient and any of the member of healthcare team. The conflict has a critical effect on the competence, confidence, and morale of healthcare professionals. Consequently, it affects patient care too. To prevent or limit the conflict, emphasis must be focused on proper and impartial implementation of a professional code of conduct, ground rules and discipline. The sources of conflict could real or imagined differences in values, dissimilar goals among individuals, improper communication and personalization of generic or organizational issue. Generally, there are four types of conflicts, intrapersonal, interpersonal, intragroup and intergroup.The conflict usually goes through four phases, frustration of one or more parties involved in conflict, conceptualization or rationalization of cause, expression of behaviors and behaviors resulting in negative outcome. Thomas and Kilmann postulated a matrix explaining five distinct responses or styles to conflict resolution or management varying along the axis of assertiveness and cooperativeness. These five styles are avoiding, accommodating, compromising, competing and collaborating. The issue in conflict is not its existence, rather its management. When it is managed poorly, the outcome will be uncomplimentary with counterproductive results and if managed properly, it encourages competition, recognize legitimate differences and becomes powerful source of motivation. Keywords: Conflict, healthcare, management of conflict, source of conflict, type of conflict.

    Abstract Nepal is a landlocked country bordering two most populous countries, India and China. Nepal shares open border with India from three sides, east, south and west. And, in north with China, where the novel coronavirus infection (CVOVID-19) began in late December 2019. The first confirmed imported case in Nepal was reported in 2nd week of January 2020. The initial response of Nepal to COVID-19 were comparably slow but country geared efforts after it was declared a 'global pandemic' by WHO on 11 March, 2020. Government of Nepal's steps from 18 March, 2020 led to partial lock down and countrywide lockdown imposed on 24 March, 2020. Government devised comprehensive plan on 27 March, 2020 for quarantine for peoples who arrived in Nepal from COVID-19 affected countries. This article covers summary of global status, South Asian Association of Regional Cooperation (SAARC) status, and Nepal's response to contain COVID-19 infection discussed under three headings: Steps taken before and after WHO declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and lab services regarding detection of COVID-19. Nepal has documented five confirmed cases of COVID-19 till the end of March 2020, first in second week of 15 January, 2020 and 2nd case 8-weeks thereafter and 3rd case two days later, 4th on 27 March and 5th on 28 March. Four more cases detected during first week of April. Non-Pharmacological interventions like social distancing and excellent personal habits are widely practiced. Country has to enhance testing and strengthen tracing, isolation and quarantine mechanism and care of COVID-19 patients as Nepal is in risk zone because of comparably weak health system and porous borders with India. The time will tell regarding further outbreak and how it will be tackled. Keywords: COVID-19; lockdown; Nepal; pandemic; response.

    Abstract COVID-19 is mainly transmitted through droplet infection and spread very fast compared to SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV For the countries, it is important to know at what stage the COVID-19 epidem­ic is? So, as to take appropriate steps to contain the epidemic This will only be known by testing the suspects and contacts of confirmed cases If there is poor testing, then most of the infected people may remain undetected, however they could spread the virus to hundreds of other people and potential contacts, which could not be known and quarantined in time continuing the spread If there is quality assured, highly sensitive and specific testing along with adequate isolation and quarantine, then the spread will be limited There are two types of tests available for COVID-19: the tests directly detecting the viral ribonucleic acid (RNA) collected in nasopharyngeal or throat swabs, and tests detecting antibodies from the blood sample At this point in time, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests are used for confirmation of the disease while antibodies tests may provide information regarding the prevalence of infection World Health Organization advices the countries to increase the testing and get to know the level of epidemic and act accordingly for containment of infection

    Abstract World Health Organization (WHO) in its interim guidance of 6 April 2020 advises policy makers on the use of masks for healthy people in community settings. The rationale for mask use by healthy person is prevention from COVID-19, when there is risk of exposure, like working in close contact with public, people with comorbidities, where physical distancing cannot be maintained such as travelling in buses, staying in slum areas. Furthermore, WHO says the purpose and reason for mask use should be clear– whether it is to be used for source control (used by infected persons) or prevention of COVID-19 (used by healthy persons).1 Centers for Disease Control (CDC) United States of America (USA) updated its advisory on 4 Apr 2020, and recommended everyone (except some) should wear at least a cloth face covering when they have to go out in public. It will protect other people in case you are infected.2,3 This advisory of no strict demand on use of face masks could be possibly due to unavailability of disposable masks.

    Abstract Background: Teacher training focusing on teaching learning methodologies, assessment tools, and approaches that motivate the teachers and enhance their confidence is one of the fundamental programs of faculty development. The objective of this study was to assess the self-reported perceived confidence of faculty members after participating in a basic teachers training workshop.
    Methodology: The retrospective post-then-pre design questionnaire was used for evaluating the faculty members' self-reported perceived confidence at Kirkpatrick level 1 (evaluation of reaction) after completing basic teachers training workshops. The self-reported perceived confidence on 30 statements were analyzed by 3 categories (not confident, confident, and highly confident) on a Likert scale.
    Results: Out of 60 participants (18 in the 3rd and 21 each in the 4th and 5th teachers training workshops), 58 (96.67%) responded to all statements. The mean age of the participants was 34.14±5.15 years; 70.7% were male and 29.3% female. Overall, the self-reported perceived confidence level of the participants of the 3rd (pre-training median 57, post-training median 70,
    Conclusion: Overall, the self-reported perceived confidence level of the participants was significantly increased after teachers training workshop.
