The Medical Council of India has set appropriate and relevant objectives to train each medical student into a basic doctor for the country. Even though they envisage that these basic doctors would work as physicians of first contact, providing for the health needs of India at primary and secondary care level, the site of training and the context of clinical teaching do not seem to empower the students to become a basic doctor. 'Vision 2015', the document written by the board of governors of medical council of India suggests reforms in medical education such as early clinical exposure, integration of principles of family medicine, and clinical training in the secondary care level. Family medicine training with trained family medicine faculty might add this missing ingredient to our basic doctor training. This article discusses the role of family medicine in undergraduate medical training. We also propose the objectives of such training, the structure of the training process, and the road blocks with possible solutions to its implementation.
印度医学委员会已设定了恰当且相关的目标，旨在将每位医学生培养成为服务本国的基础医生。尽管他们设想这些基础医生将作为首诊医生，在初级和二级医疗层面满足印度的健康需求，但培训地点和临床教学环境似乎并未使学生有能力成为一名基础医生。印度医学委员会理事会撰写的《2015愿景》文件提出了医学教育改革建议，如早期临床接触、整合家庭医学原则以及在二级医疗层面进行临床培训。由训练有素的家庭医学教员开展的家庭医学培训可能会为我们的基础医生培训增添这一缺失要素。本文讨论了家庭医学在本科医学培训中的作用。我们还提出了此类培训的目标、培训过程的结构以及实施过程中的障碍和可能的解决方案。
