Overview

Is it not within the realm of possibility for the students, together with the department faculty and outreach healthcare workers, to embrace the duty of safeguarding the health of our villagers? This book provides an opportunity to select and conduct feasible research on locally prevalent problems. The medical students are grateful to be supported by their mentor and an outreach team of healthcare workers. The Family Adoption Program (FAP), as introduced by the National Medical Commission (NMC), provides a switch from traditional interaction with rural families to an opportunity for developing interpersonal communication skills during individual and group interaction with the villagers. This book provides a scope for studying the sociodemographic profile and health conditions of the people living in a rural area, offering health education and management assistance with their mentor. It also covers the identification of health-related risks in the family, the kitchen garden concept, utilizing the role of a mentor and medical social worker, ideas for reflecting on the program activities, and a guide for building communication skills and attitude while approaching the villagers. This book encourages readers to critically examine and identify all potential risk factors within the family as well as field-based socio-environmental and healthcare activities, such as tree plantation, health camps, hygiene, and sanitation covering the cleanliness drive in the village.
