Abstract

This cross-sectional multi-institutional study was conducted to analyze learning preference among medical undergraduate students (n=1659) in four colleges in Haryana. VARK questionnaire (v8.01) was administered through designated study leaders of the respective institutes. The most preferred learning modality was kinesthetic (21.7%), which favors experiential form of learning, most suited for teaching-learning of skills in medical curriculum. More information on the learning preference of medical students is needed to optimize learning outcomes.
