ABSTRACT

Undergraduate students often struggle to learn and effectively memorize the vast symptomatology of Homoeopathic Materia Medica. Traditional educational paradigms, heavily centered on passive information assimilation, commonly result in diminished student interest and an inability to retain complex subject matter effectively over time. This study explored the perceived benefits of an innovative extracurricular activity, comic strip creation, as an effective way to improve Materia Medica learning and recall. This activity capitalizes on the power of visual and narrative learning, offering students a more dynamic and memorable way to interact with Materia Medica, thereby fostering deeper understanding and more durable recall than traditional approaches.

Keywords: Homoeopathic Materia Medica, Pedagogy, Extracurricular activity, Comic strip creation.
