Abstract
With the growing emphasis on Faculty Development Programs (FDP), workshops have become a necessity rather than a luxury. Though FDPs can be offered in a number of ways, there is nothing like conducting a workshop. Workshop is one of the most useful innovations by educationists. Because, it engages the participants in active learning through hands-on experience, which is the fundamental principle of adult learning. In a workshop format, one cannot simply sit back, relax, and walk away with a certificate as it often happens in case of most Continuing Medical Education (CME) activities. One has to toil, engage in a group activity, or a hands-on experience for a successful completion of a workshop.
