3. The skit started off with hypothyroidism where the symptoms, consequences & treatment was explained clearly
4. Causes which include consumption of packaged food & unhealthy lifestyle was portrayed in the play.
5. Same treatment was given to the other disorders – hypothyroidism
6. The main intension of the play being to spread knowledge about the thyroid disorders with the aim of reaching as many people as possible
7. Collage which was based on the same was explained with the help of pictures and information

1. The roleplay mainly focused on keeping the crowd’s attention and at the same time enlighten them with the ill effects of alcohol
2. It basically focused on enhancing the key features patients generally present to the OPD
3. The clinical features including withdrawal symptoms effect in social well bring peer pressure & depression
4. The working pattern of both a general physician & psychiatrist was portrayed
Response by the students
Overall the crowd was very enthusiastic and welcoming
They were curious to imbibe the knowledge being shared with them
Some students and even parents present came up to us to convey their happiness about the plays and collages
Even the college staff was very appreciative of our efforts.
What we learnt?
1. Diabetes mellitus & its symptoms
2. Alcohol abuse & its symptoms
3. Thyroid disorders & its symptoms
4. How to interact with & engage a group of people and put our points across to them
5. We learnt essential communication skills which we would require as future medical graduates
6. Hopefully we raised awareness about these prevalent disorders and at the same time played our small part in inspiring some of the students to take up this profession.
