Handbook of Practical Physiology, Objective Structured Practical Instructions (OSPI)  (English, Paperback, Dr. Lakshmi Jatiya, Dr. Madanmohan Trakroo)

It gives me great pleasure to provide students and teachers of physiology this concise Handbook of Practical Physiology. It gives stepwise structured instructions to be followed so that a student can conduct practicals methodically with confidence and without missing any step. These working instructions may be called as “Objective Structured Practical Instructions (OSPI)”. The steps given will ensure uniformity in teaching as well as conducting the practicals. They will also help in preparing check lists for OSPE which are now a part of formative as well as summative evaluation. The student will be clear as to what skills he has to acquire and will be tested during the examination. These steps follow a concise explanation of principles underlying the experiment. While preparing this Handbook, practical physiology books popular among the students have been consulted. We have laid emphasis on procedural steps and application of knowledge gained by the student during the practical. Easy to understand and follow, the matter is student-friendly and unnecessary material that is irrelevant to the practical or basic doctor has been avoided.
