Pharmacology is a subject which plays a vital role in any clinicians day to day life. Learning it as a subject for examination alone would not help them in practise. A deeper understanding of the subject is essential to correlate the underlying pathology and prescribe drugs accordingly. Learning through one way communication limits the thought process of the students and waives off their analytical skills. Activity based learning makes the understanding better with a long term memory. Multiple Interactive learning Algorithm, MILA is a teaching innovation which enables students to learn by active interaction during class. Three complex topics were chosen and the MILA sessions were conducted to the students with a protocol involving flipped class, activity based interactive learning and knowledge assessment at the end of the session. It proved to be effective and the learning and understanding of the students were better than conventional learning.
