The Department of Community Medicine at PMCH focuses on training professionals who not only work in hospitals but also have extensive experience in community healthcare. In fact, it is important for healthcare professionals to recognise that diseases are not just individual problems, but are often closely related to factors such as hydration, nutrition, stress, socioeconomic status, and social awareness.
Thus, the department’s curriculum includes courses in clinical nursing, infection control, and health sciences. Our course helps students understand how to identify community health risks and develop effective strategies to address them.
Community exposure is an important part of the training of community medicine at PMCH. Through this, students understand the health needs of people at the grassroots level and learn how a doctor can make a real impact on society's health.
The vision of the Department of Community Medicine at PMCH is to produce doctors who do not view healthcare as being confined solely to the hospital setting, but who approach disease prevention, health awareness, and the public health system at the societal level with equal seriousness.
