The
Department of Community Medicine and Family Medicine aims to
orient students towards community health and produce community
physicians. The department envisages identifying new avenues
in public health to improve the health and well being of
community as a whole. The main focus of the department remains
to develop a sustainable model of community health services
that will help in capacity building and strengthening of other
health organizations at state, national and international
level.
Community and Clinical Exposure is provided to the MBBS
students by the department quite early in the first year
itself. The department is currently working towards developing
model Rural (PHC Sreenagar, Block Chakdaha) and Urban health
training centers (Kalyani Municipality) for teaching,
training, health care service and research. Currently two
research projects are being carried out by the department.
Besides this the faculty has published 15 papers
in National and International journals of repute, after
joining AIIMS Kalyani, and many more, before. They have also
been involved in writing chapters in books and modules.
