The above cadre approved is only taking into consideration of the MBBS programme. Thus, the above additional workload is only when teaching in the MBBS programme.

However, in addition to the above, I was involved in teaching and conducting examinations for Diploma in Forensic Medicine and Toxicology (DFMT) since the initiation of the degree program, in addition to research and numerous administrative roles. Thus, the work actually carried out is much higher than indicated in the above table.

I was appointed as the coordinator of the Diploma in Forensic Medicine and Toxicology (DFMT) from 2019.04.07 to 2020.Dec 31 and from 2023.03.01 to 2023.05.01.

I was involved in scheduling lectures, teaching, blueprinting, and compiling the DFMT paper. I am still involved in teaching and assessing the DFMT Students.
