Book Description

Community Medicine is a basic course that 3rd-year MBBS students learn which enables them to tackle issues relating to individual, family, and community health. Clinico-Social Case Studies in Community Medicine: A Practical Guide for 3rd-Year MBBS Students is a succinct book that connects the theoretical aspects of medical education with practical case studies applicable to India's public health landscape, including maternal and child health (MCH), infectious diseases, non-communicable diseases (NCDs), and emerging issues such as mental health and digital health integration. The book has been prepared following the competency-based medical education (CBME) curriculum of the National Medical Commission (NMC) of India and is aligned with Indian public health programs like RMNCAH+N, NP-NCD, and Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM). The case studies are provided in a scenario format, followed by questions for critical thinking, evidence-based answers, and visual aids such as diagrams and tables to aid comprehension. The book can be used to prepare students for academic exams, clinical postings, and future roles at primary health centers (PHCs) and is also publication-ready for use by medical textbooks.
