The National Medical Commission's Family Adoption Programme (FAP) enhances medical student understanding of rural life and social responsibility. Students find FAP valuable for developing essential communication skills, despite facing challenges like language barriers.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Public Health
- Community Medicine
Background:
- The National Medical Commission (NMC) in India implemented the Family Adoption Programme (FAP) in March 2022.
- FAP is integrated into the curriculum-based medical education (CBME) for undergraduate medical students.
- The program aims to offer practical, community-based healthcare learning experiences.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate undergraduate medical students' perceptions of the Family Adoption Programme (FAP).
- To identify challenges encountered during FAP implementation.
- To gather suggestions for improving the FAP's effectiveness.
Main Methods:
- A descriptive, cross-sectional study utilizing an online survey.
- A validated questionnaire with closed and open-ended questions was administered.
- Data from 1054 medical students across India were analyzed, including a SWOT analysis.
Main Results:
- 85% of students found FAP beneficial for understanding rural life; 87% agreed it fosters social responsibility.
- 90% of participants recognized FAP's value in developing Attitude, Ethics, and Communication (AETCOM) skills.
- Key challenges included language barriers and family resistance; suggestions focused on increased visits and local language training.
Conclusions:

Assessing the gastrointestinal (GI) system is a complex process that begins with collecting subjective data. This data, collected through patient interviews, provides crucial insights into the patient's health history, perception patterns, and lifestyle habits, all contributing significantly to GI health.
Health Perception Patterns
Health perception patterns offer valuable insights into a patient's lifestyle habits and how they may impact their GI health. These patterns include:
