Abstract Background The Basic Course Workshop in Medical Education Technologies (BCW), initiated by the National Medical Commission (NMC) in 2009, has become an integral part of faculty development programs. Objectives In this context, this study aimed to evaluate faculty perceptions of their immediate and sustained knowledge and utilization of teaching, learning, and assessment methods, as well as the usefulness of medical educational technology workshops based on the revised basic course proposed by the National Medical Commission (India). Methodology A dedicated four-day workshop was held for registered faculties of AIIMS, Rajkot, with limited participation (24 participants) to ensure effective handson training. Post-workshop, anonymous retro-pre feedback forms containing both closed-ended and openended questions were collected. Results The participants reported a 50% increase in knowledge and understanding from the baseline, clarity about writing objectives increased to 48%, learning about appropriate use of media to 65%, and AETCOM to 62%.
