Annexure - 2
Need and context: Development of socially responsible and humane professionals is a stated
mission of the Institution. Increasing access to health care for rural communities is also an
important part of the national policy on health care. In order to sensitize students to these needs,
a program has been developed to involve medical graduate students in community and rural
health care as an integral part of training in the institution.
Objectives of the practice: Toprovide opportunities for MBBS students to gain first-hand
knowledge of the health care needs and public health issues in rural communities.
The Practice: First year MBBS students are assigned to selected families (one family per group of
3 students) in local neighbourhood communities at the beginning of the course. The students
interact with these same families till they complete the MBBS course. The students visit them
regularly, collect information and apprise them on health related issues. The Department of
Community Medicine coordinates these activities. All these families are provided health cover
including tertiary care services at KSHEMA in case of routine as well as emergency referrals.
The village leaders are kept informed about the activities and necessary community
participation is generated. This program provides opportunities for students for continued
interaction with a rural family, sensitises them to their health needs and challenges faced by
them in accessing acre. It also helps them in realizing the importance of involving the
community in health care activities. The community in turn benefits from the regular
monitoring and facilitated access to health care through the program.
Impact: Students have appreciated the early exposure to real-life health care issues. They report
that they are able to appreciate the complexities involved in health care delivery beyond the
academics of medical education. They are also bale to empathise with the less privileged
sections of the community.
Resources required: Staff who are familiar with the field practice area and who are resourceful in
interacting with local communities to gain their co-operation. Transport facilities to arrange for
visits on a regular basis.
