GANDHI MEDICAL COLLEGE, HYDERABAD, ANDHRA PRADESH PREFACE Dear faculty members of community medicine, We have prepared a ‘CD’ on community medicine classes which can generate enthusiasm in the subject amongst students. We hope that this ‘CD’ with its vast coverage of information will continue to fill the educational needs of the students in our country. This ‘CD’ is not a substitute to standard text books but a good supplement to bring in the readiness of the teacher. We hope to save the time of faculty in cumbersome slide preparation which can be utilized in lesson planning . We thank all the students & faculty of community medicine of Gandhi Medical College, who have taken many pains to organize the presentations into logical & uniform approaches, thereby, facilitating readability, comprehension & learning. We hope that we have succeeded in bringing to the student the excitement of the subject & the desire to learn more than what can be offered by any text book. We appreciate & acknowledge your valuable feedback and necessary additions to improve the ‘CD’ in the next edition.
