Community Medicine

Community Medicine at Shrinivas G Medical College & Hospital turns entire populations into your classroom, blending rigorous epidemiology with hands-on public-health action. Students design surveys, collect geo-tagged data and map disease patterns using GIS software, then present findings that shape district health policy. Faculty integrate case studies on malaria clusters, heat-wave fatalities and nutrition deficits, ensuring every lecture echoes the realities of Bihar’s villages and urban slums.

Field immersion is constant and graded for complexity. Rural Health Training Centres (RHTCs) run antenatal clinics, immunisation drives and chronic-disease screenings, while mobile vans deliver tele-consults and point-of-care diagnostics to remote panchayats. Back on campus, biostatistics labs teach SPSS, R and Epi Info so you convert raw field numbers into actionable insights, and interdisciplinary modules weave environmental science, disaster management, nutrition and occupational health into a cohesive skill set. Research mentors guide you through ICMR-funded projects on TB contact tracing, adolescent anaemia and NCD prevalence, resulting in posters, PubMed-indexed papers and real-world policy briefs. Graduates leave ready to lead primary-care networks, manage NGO programmes or pursue MD Community Medicine anywhere in India.
