Group Discussion (GD) is a structured, learner-centred educational strategy in which a small group of postgraduate students collaboratively explores a clinical problem, scientific concept, research question, ethical issue, or healthcare challenge under the guidance of a faculty facilitator. Unlike traditional didactic teaching, group discussion promotes active participation, critical thinking, evidence-based reasoning, reflective learning, and collaborative decisionmaking, thereby transforming learners from passive recipients of information into active constructors of knowledge.
Modern postgraduate medical education has progressively evolved from teacher-centred instruction towards competency-based, learner-centred education. This paradigm shift recognizes that competent specialists are developed not merely by acquiring factual knowledge but through active engagement, clinical reasoning, scholarly inquiry, teamwork, and reflective practice. Within this framework, Group Discussion has emerged as one of the most effective academic methods for promoting higher-order cognitive skills, encouraging self-directed learning, strengthening communication, and fostering professional attitudes essential for contemporary medical practice.
