The “Primary Healthcare and Rural Health” and “Family Medicine” courses were combined into a single 3-credit-hour course in light of their overarching themes. Through interactive lectures, problem-based learning and case-based discussions, this course aims to equip the students with the knowledge of the specialty, including understanding its principles and foundations in the basic medical sciences and evidence-based research. Students will be able to identify, diagnose and treat acute or chronic; single or multi-system diseases with appropriate prioritization of patient problems and resources available in primary and rural healthcare settings.
