Abstract

The National Medical Commission recently launched the Family Adoption Programme for the medical undergraduates across the country in the process of making Indian Medical Graduates a full-fledged primary care physician. The program has been running across in few institutes across the country and such large level replication of the same with objectives of giving public health exposure to medical undergraduates is a welcome step. But the program brings with it their own set of challenges for the implementation of the same. Hence, the article attempts to identify the lacunae in the policy and suggests a way forward for better conduct of the program and achieve what it actually desires.
