About Course
​​
In India, chronic diseases contribute to 82% of all non-communicable disease deaths, yet 8.1% of Primary Health Centers function without a doctor. With a critical doctor-to-patient ratio of 1:1,500 and rural populations traveling up to 100 km for healthcare access, there's a severe shortage of trained family physicians. This gap leads to delayed diagnosis and poor management of preventable chronic conditions requiring continuous, coordinated care across all age groups.
Medigrad’s 12 months Fellowship in Family Medicine offers MBBS doctors a comprehensive pathway to become exceptional Family Physicians and primary care specialists. Our program goes beyond traditional medical training, equipping healthcare professionals with holistic patient care skills, advanced diagnostic techniques, and comprehensive community health management strategies.
