Post Graduation in FAMILY MEDICINE (INDIA ) !

Want to get rid of the term "JUST AN MBBS DOCTOR" ?? Frustrated with not getting a post graduate course in all india exam and state medical exam ?? Then Family medicine is a good option as General practice is a evergreen field always .


Department of Distance Education in Christian Medical College , Vellore , India .offers you this unique opportunity !!

1.Distance Education program for Family medicine :

Now one can do a two year distance education course and get certified as FAMILY PHYSICIAN from CMC(christian medical college) , vellore . The degree is awarded as PGDFM ( Post graduate diploma in family medicine ) . Even the government doctors are asked to attend this course officially by the health ministry of tamil nadu . So recognition by MCI is not a problem . Moreover MCI does not exist anymore :)


Why do this course rather than be a MBBS doctor and manage patients : This course gives you a detailed management of day to day clinical scenarios , with clear guidelines and protocols .
