COMMUNITY MEDICINE

The three domains of public health are health improvement, health protection and health services. Public Health, being a multidisciplinary and community orientated subject, makes curriculum development a difficult job. Epidemiology, biostatistics and research methodology are its main tools. Study of healthcare systems and health policy, quality of service delivery, management, are some other areas of great importance.

Under the guidance of PM & DC competency-based curriculum, the Department of Public Health, Gomal Medical College has adopted the integrated modular curriculum for undergraduate students to develop competent workforce in the futuristic challenging atmosphere of public health.
