Introduction The rationale of this module is to expose a beginner to the hospital and community in
/Rationale
multiple disciplines at the start of their medical career.
Early hospital exposure will help the student to overcome his / her own feeling of
hesitance from patients. It will also inculcate interest in the medical students to see
patients with different ailments. They will learn basic bed side manners and other skills and
attitude necessary for a healthy doctor- patient interaction.
On the other hand by going to the community, our medical students will appreciate the
relationship of factors in the community leading to disease development. This will help
students understand how disease prevention can be done by improving health education,
community behavior and modification of the environment. They will understand the
community health problems and national / international efforts to solve them.
The student will be exposed to concepts of research, basic requirement for research and
will develop the competency for research.
