Family medicine is “a health system, where primary care is the backbone and family doctors are the bedrock, delivers the best health outcomes, at the lowest cost, and with the greatest user satisfaction.
– Dr Margaret Chan, Director-General of the World Health Organization

 About the Course

General practitioners of today are not in the mold of a typical family physician. Though they see a large variety of problems that affect the population, they are generally ill-equipped to manage them. IMA eVarsity shall impart general practitioners of today with necessary disease management skills through scientifically-designed, pedagogically-grounded courses, with experiential learning forming the fulcrum.
