| This document lists the specific recommendations of the Medical Education Committee (1969) and Medical Education Conference (1970) concerning medical undergraduate training in India. Most of the recommendations are concerned with placing greater emphasis on health at the community level: increasing the amount of practical instruction, teaching both curative and preventive aspects of medicine, providing greater incentives for doctors to work in rural areas, and reducing the emphasis on postgraduated specialization. The document was distributed to all relevant institutions (state governments, medical colleges, etc.) for immediate implementation. |
