Pre validated questionnaire was used to obtain feedback from students which included closed ended (on likert scale) and few open ended questions. Data from questionnaire was compiled and analysed. 60.94% students strongly agreed that integrated teaching linked basic sciences and clinical subjects. Among interactive teaching learning methods, interactive videos helped to a greater extent followed by MCQ, picture prompt and group test. 37.50% students expressed there was improvement in overall knowledge related to topic due to integration. 37.50% participants wanted repetition of integrated teaching once in a month.
