Department of Community medicine
Course Offered
Study
of Community Medicine will start from 1st Term and extend
over six terms of six months each (3/1 & rehabilitative) to the
people by a health team in order to improve the health of the
community. It deals with population or groups rather than individual
patients. It is concerned with identification and assessment of
health needs of the people, health problems affecting them and to
devise appreciate measures (planning, organization, delivery and
evaluation of health core services) to meet these requirements as
best as possible with the available resources. Community Medicine is
thus a bridge between public health and clinical medicine.
Successful implementation of a community health program under the
leadership of a doctor depends on the mutual co-operation among all
grades of health personnel’s, social workers, community leaders
connection with the program and the common team spirit exhibited by
them.
Doctors should be
prepared to build up on effective partnership for health. It has now
been realized that medical education should include knowledge about
behavioral science, for such knowledge will enable medical students
appreciate human behavior better and to understand how different
cultures construct health & illness. This will prepare doctors to
deal more effectively the diseases and human sufferings.
