Background: In addition to conventional teaching-learning techniques, the educational system employs a variety of student-centered techniques. Enquiry-Based Learning (EBL) represent pedagogical methods focused on self-directed inquiry or research initiated by students. Such approaches prioritize student autonomy, thereby significantly enhancing the learning experience and fostering a deeper understanding of the subject matter.

Methods: A case of 31-year-old female having the complaints for Dermatitis, Poly-cystic ovarian disease and Vitiligo, treated with a single dose of Homoeopathic medicine, Silicea 10M was presented to a group of 15 PG Scholars. The scholars were encouraged by the facilitator to analyse the case model and come up with their inquiries about the case for discussion. After discussing the answers for their enquires, the evaluation of understanding of the concepts was done through an assessment test consisting of five questions each carrying five marks. The results were analysed using the performance rating scale.

Results: All 15 PG scholars scored between 20 to 25 marks. The questions were answered appropriately based on their existing knowledge as well as those acquired from discussion through enquiry based learning

Conclusion: Enquiry based learning is found to be an effective educational technique, intertwining theoretical understanding with practical application. It equips students with the expertise and confidence necessary to adeptly navigate the complexities of healthcare.
