Background: In most of the medical colleges, lecture is the most common mode of teaching. A monotonous lecture of an hour fails to hold attention of students until the end of the class. There is a need to change from traditional to interactive teaching methods so as to sustain interest of the students in class room. Aim: The aim of this study was to examine the perceptions of medical students towards teaching methods. Materials and Methods: The study was carried out on 98 second year medical students. The study was conducted using questionnaires to get feedback from the students regarding their perception about the interactive teaching methods. Result: Conclusion: The use of interactive lectures can promote active learning, heighten attention and motivation, give feedback to the teacher and the student, and increase satisfaction for both.
