The article reports that students at Melaka Manipal Medical College have undergone their first 2.5 year of a medical training program in Malaysia. Students are taught anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry. The anatomy classes include both small-group cadaveric dissection sessions and large-group lecture classes of 1 hour each. In an effort to break the monotomy and to engage the students in active learning, a midlecture student seminar is conducted. The midlecture student seminar consists of two parts, a short presentation by students, followed by postpresentation discussions.
