Instructional methods in medical education are largely teacher centered rather than being student centered&not much attention is being given to the learning preferences of student. The present study was conducted to determine the relationship between Visual, Aural, Read/Write, Kinesthetic (VARK), sensory modality tool and course performance in the subject of physiology
